Pirano rappresenta un Nunicum nella penisola istriana. In età veneziana era la seconda città per importanza dopo Capodistria, capoluogo della provincia di San Marco. Il sale e il suo commercio avevano giocato un ruo- lo di primo piano, senza l’‘oro bianco’ la storia della città di San Giorgio avrebbe registrato un corso decisamente diverso. Invece rappresentò la sua fortuna e al tem- po stesso la differenziò dagli altri conte- sti urbani. Tale condizione privilegiata si riflesse sull’intera collettività come pure sulla dimensione culturale in senso lato. Il retaggio piranese, infatti, è notevole. Per un insieme di circostanze fortuite, la cittadina non conobbe devastazioni, sac- cheggi, scempi che alterassero la sua fi- sionomia, anzi, un forte senso civico e la consapevolezza dell’importanza rivestita dalla cura della memoria storica e delle te- stimonianze dei tempi andati, hanno fatto sì che Pirano annoverasse un corpus ampio ed articolato di elementi che parlano del suo passato. Tale ricchezza, si noti bene, è pg. 3-4 Quattro anni di sfide e successi d’incommensurabile valore non solo per I taguardi della CAN nel mandato 2014-2018 gli storici, ossia per quanti si interessano Nadia Zigante al ricco patrimonio cultuale custodito nel- le diversi sedi, bensì rappresenta anche il pg. 7 Convegno di studi su Carpaccio punto di forza e un’attrattiva per i visita- In occasione del 500esimo della pala d’altare piranese tori e per il turismo culturale che va sem- Bruno Fonda pre più sviluppandosi.
