Trieste Mayor Roberto Dipiazza
awarded the bronze medal of the City of Trieste to the
Carinthian regional office of ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk)
for the TV show 'Servus, Srečno, Ciao' and an award to
journalist Iris Hofmeister-Bulgarelli, head of the program, for
various news reports dedicated to the city.
"The name of the broadcast stands not only for the informal
greetings in German, Slovenian, and Italian but also and above
all for the friendship that fully represents the deep bond that
unites the inhabitants of the Alps-Adriatic cross-border
region," the director of the Carinthian branch of ORF, Karin
Bernhard, said.
'Servus, Srecno, Ciao' has been airing for 21 years, every
Saturday evening at the end of the regional news program
'Kärnten heute' on Orf 2, exploring the neighboring regions,
namely Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia, featuring culture,
traditions, leisure opportunities, places to visit, and food and
wine specialties.
The program's first episode took place in Trieste, at Caffè
Tommaseo, followed by more than 80 events dedicated to the FVG
capital city over the years. Topics covered included the Sacher
Café, James Joyce, the Barcolana and the Bora, In City Golf, San
Giovanni Park, Veit Heinichen, the Caffé Fair and Olio capitale,
Pedocin, and the Carnival of Servola.
