Nestled at the foot of the Julian Alps, Gorizia is one of those “rare hidden gems that is simply not on the radar of most tourists, or even most Italians”, said John Brunton in The Guardian. At the end of the Second World War, the town was “unceremoniously split” between post-Mussolini Italy and communist Yugoslavia, with a “brutal metal barrier” separating the two halves.

Now, those two halves, Gorizia in Italy and Nova Gorica – the “idealistic” new town established on the other side of the border in 1947, in what is now Slovenia – are set to become the “first-ever single European capital of culture to combine cities in two countries”.
