1 TIES BETWEEN WORLDS AND PEOPLE

2 The only Renaissance D o you know the story? The Vila Vipolže was built as a hunters mansion for the counts of Gorizia and long used for summer vacations. A few centuries later, it had become a fortified Renaissance villa with Venetian decoration. It was passed down by its owners who hailed from three worlds: the Slavic, Romance and Germanic.

3 villa in Slovenia opens its doors It had been a sleeping beauty for a long time, hosting only a few dances and wine festivals. However, now that the construction scaffolding has been removed, the villa has awoken from her slumber. A truly cosmopolitan venue, this new regional cultural congress centre now opens its doors for its maiden season.

4 Welcome to Vila Vipolže! We welcome you to the Brda region, with a view of its vine-covered hills. We have now completed the glorious renovation of the exterior and interior of the only Renaissance villa in Slovenia, giving its beauty a new lease of life. Our Brda Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sport Board will also be located in these premises, which just call for meetings and experiences. The people who organise events held in Brda are proud to be inspired by the Venetian architecture, modern interior and dramatic story of this villa. We invite you to join us and create some unforgettable memories. Feel the magic when you open the windows in Piano Nobile, as the Venetian gentlemen named the first floor with the best views. Therefore, this is the place where your and our partnerships will thrive. Cheers and here s to strong ties! Ariana B. Suhadolnik, MA, Director of the Brda Institute for Tourism, Culture, Youth and Sport
