Duška Žitko Giuseppe Tartini
On the 120th anniversary of the unveiling of Tartini’s statue, made by Antonio Dal Zotto, in the central Piran square has been published a publication by the author Duška Žitko. A supplemented and for the widest circle of readers intended book about the only globally known and truly most reputed citizen of Piran, Giuseppe Tartini. The carefully selected phrases of the violinist David Oistrakh and Črtomir Šiškovič express the opinion and admiration for their idol, the famous virtuoso, whereas the susceptible words of the Slovene poet Ciril Zlobec, uttered in 1992 in Piran, when we paid our respects to Tartini on the 300th anniversary of his birth, poetically round up the gist of Tartini’s mission, address us and obligate the entire civilised society.

Duška Žitko Srečanja z morjem
The present catalogue with the selection of marine painters and their works in the Maritime Museum “Sergej Mašera” Piran is a kind of an introduction to the review of marine painting in Slovenia, where it has not been dealt with separately as yet, as the paintings of this kind have been so far encountered only within the framework of landscape painting.

Bogdana Marinac Published by: Pomorski muzej-Museo del mare "Sergej Mašera" Piran-Pirano, Piran, 2003 In blue and white – Navy uniforms from the collection of the Maritime Museum "Sergej Mašera" Piran
The uniforms introduced in the Navy in the 17th century greatly influenced, together with various regulations related to them, the way of life of men serving in the Navy. The Habsburg Empire began to introduce them in the eastern Adriatic during the second half of the 18th century. Later on, however, a series of pieces of clothing for mariners of different professions and ranks and uniforms for various occasions were prescribed for the Navies. In merchant navies, uniforms were compulsory primarily on passenger ships and in port services, where fewer types of uniforms were prescribed and where regulations were not as strict and exact as in the Navies. On cargo ships, they were worn only occasionally.
