(ANSAmed) - Brussels, July 20 - European culture capitals in
2020 will be in Croatia and Ireland, according to a calendar of
events for 2020 to 2033 released by the European Commission
Friday.
A new development in the calendar shows that starting in
2020, every three years European Union candidate countries can
also propose themselves to host the culture fest, as well as
member countries.
An Italian city will be designated European culture capital in 2019. After that, it won't be Italy's turn again until 2033.
Italian culture capitals in the past include Florence in 1986, Bologna in 2000, and Genoa in 2004.
Eighteen Italian cities are vying for the title in 2019: Amalfi, Bari, Bergamo, Brindisi, Carbonia, Catanzaro, L'Aquila, Lecce, Mantua, Matera, Palermo, Perugia and Assisi, Ravenna, Siena, Siracuse, Turin, Urbino and Venice - together with regions of the northeast. Cities in EU candidate countries can compete in 2020, 2023, 2026, 2029 and 2032.
Currently the EU candidate countries are Turkey and the Balkans - Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina and Kosovo. (ANSAmed).
