Piazza Tartini Photo

Photographer’s Note

The town of Piran has an Italian/Venetian look, and it did belong, in fact, to Venice (the Serenissima Republic) from 1283 to 1797. Then it became part of Austria until WWI. From 1920 until WWII it was part of Italy. Then given to Yugoslavia. After the break-up of Yugoslavia, it is now part of Slovenia.

Both Slovenian and Italian are official languages in Piran.

The main square, Piazza Tartini, is named after violinist Giusseppe Tartini (born in Piran in 1692).

Hi Daniel,
It seems the photo has too much sharpness, but even so it is a wonderful view of the Tartinijev trg.
Greetings,

Hi Daniel,

I have been there 10 years ago...it was a very pleasant day (although the memory of the person there with me sometimes still haunts me)

this is a nice colourful composition having the tenement houses on the front...providing a great contrast with the perfect blue sky

Hi Daniel,
Yes, Italian style is quite obvious. Fascinating architecture with bright colours. And the tiles on the square shine, giving very clean impression. Slightly upwards angle works well.
