BOOK ABOUT CROATIAN, ITALIAN CULTURAL TIES PRESENTED IN VENICE

VENICE, Oct 5 (Hina) - A bilingual edition of "Croatia-Italy", a various authors-book dealing with political topics and literature and art ties between Croatia and Italy, was presented in the Croatian House in Venice on Sunday, as part of the Venetian plastic art Biennale. Presenting the book, published by the Croatian Writers Association, Croatian Assistant Culture Minister Seadeta Midzic pointed out that many Italian masters worked in Croatia, as many Croats did in Italy, without our knowing it. The book, she added, described the importance of such artists for both countries. Tonko Marojevic and Drazen Katunaric spoke about the book and cultural relations between Croatia and Italy.
