Culture.
The President of the Bitola Municipality Council Liljana Kuzmanovska led a delegation to the Italian municipalities of Magliano dei Marsi and Masa de Alba, between which a grand site, Alba Fucens where the tomb of the last Macedonian King Perseus is located.
“We met the Mayor of Masa de Alba, Augusto Costa and the Mayor of L'Aquila, Biaggio Tempesta and had meetings at the University there,” said Kuzmanovska. “We agreed to organize jointly a grand international symposium on the topic “Perseus’s Path” in Bitola next year.” she added.
The reason for those activities of the Bitola Municipality is a quest for the roots of Perseus because a site, Perseida, a part of the cultural heritage of the town is located at the village of Crnobuki, in the Bitola area.
MD: Very nice, and it's a great job that the Italians worked with Macedonia instead of Greece back in june 2005 when the tomb was discovered!
