OUR HISTORY
WHERE WE COME FROM, WHO WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING
ACTIVITIES
We are promoters of the culture of encounter, of dialogue and we support the development of friendly relations across borders.
The Association is committed to the study, remembrance and appreciation of the work, life and thought of Giorgio Pressburger, one of the most significant figures on the Italian and international cultural scene of the 20th century, through the promotion and organisation of cultural initiatives in Italy and abroad. As a reference point in the area, the Association plays an active role in the development of Italian-Hungarian relations and in general with the countries of the Central European area, promoting understanding between peoples, collaboration between nations and fostering cultural, scientific, tourist, commercial and economic relations.
IN THE HEART OF MITTELEUROPA
Halfway Between Budapest and Rome
Strategically located, the Association is based in Trieste, ‘a city halfway between Budapest and Rome’, where Giorgio Pressburger has lived and worked since 1975. The Association is active on an international level.
It collaborates with institutions, foundations, universities, study and research centres, companies and enterprises in Italy and around the world, implementing transnational initiatives and projects that actively promote the culture of encounter and dialogue, thereby supporting the development of friendly relations across borders.
