March is a special month of my calendar Darka Walks With Marko

March (ožujak)

We are in March. It is this month of my calendar that tells a special story of intrigue, whispers, about a travel writer who came to Split quite by accident and wrote down an incident. Costantini, this travel writer, thus becomes the forerunner of storytelling, with which I present the city through one character, through the character of Marko Marulić.

This month, or the point of my interpretive thematic walk, is even more interesting in that there we have a link to the presentation of UNESCO's Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage. Namely, our walk takes us through an area that belongs to the material heritage of UNESCO, which is unique and a particular architectural, historical and cultural ensemble. And here, at the western gate, I tell the story of our travel writer who bought an article and linked it to our Marko Marulić.

I relate this story of Costantini with the poet's voyage to the island of Šolta where he writes epistles to friends and invites them to socialize. He says, that there is a shade under the olives, wonderful red wine, cold water, chard, fish, figs... He lists everything that belongs to our Mediterranean diet, and we know that today it is on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List. So here we combined history, storytelling, the travel writer, our poet, architecture, history, love, lifestyle, nutrition.

This is a special point of my tour , and thus a special month of my calendar.
