The tour will start with the visit of Piran (/Pirano in Italian/) on the

ancient Rome, the Republic of Venice, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and 
Italy. Piran is the birthplace of Italian composer and violinist 
Giuseppe Tartini. You will visit the Venetian style town and then

in Slovenia and visit its historic city centre with the 15th century 
Praetorian Palace and the Loggia in Venetian Gothic style. On the way

its fishing village close to Trieste, with its picturesque historical 
centre and visit the 13th century Dome located in the beautiful Marconi 
Square**.*
