Tartini's square, Piran

At the very center of Piran, a beautiful square, named after violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, is located. You realy can't miss it. At the middele of round plato, town of Piran raised a monument to the memory of Giuseppe Tartini.

At the place of the Tartini Square, there formerly was a fisher harbour. In 1894, it was filled in and this square was build. When the electric railway between Portorož and Lucija was build, this square was used for the turn-over of the trams. Today, this square is made from white marble, and it was funny to see that only few people walked over the place, as if they fear to make this radiant white square dirty!

The place is named after Guiseppe Tartini, a composer and violinist who was born 1692 in Piran. You can visit his birthplace which is found at the square. Also, there’s a monument of Tartini on the square.

The square was named after a famous native of Piran, the violinist, composer and music theoretician Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1777), who was responsible for carrying the name of his birthplace far and wide across Europe.
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Tartini's birth the people of Piran decided to erect a memorial to him in the middle of the square.

The Main Square of the town, which is also starting point of the city tour, was named after Giuseppe Tartini, a famous composer and violinist who was born in the town of Piran. His statue stands in the central position of the square.

Check out Tartinijev Trg, formerly Piazza de Tartini, named after Guiseppe Tartini, great Baroque violinist. His piazza/trg/square is the centre of Piran and is your first view when you enter the town from the bus stop by the marina. What I particularly like is how smooth the floor of the piazza is -- see how shiny it is? I just dig it.

Giuseppe Tartini, a great violinist and composer, was born in Piran in 1692 (+1770). In the end of 19th century the Venetian Antonio dal Zotto made a monument which dominates the Tartini Square up to now.

Giuseppe Tartini is his name and his statue is on the Tartini square, the round square (is that possible??) near the harbour and Old Town......

He live from 8th April 1692 - 26th February 1770).
His father was a Philanthropist in Piran (Istrië) who wanted him to study Theology.
But no, he disobeyed his father and went to Padua in Italy to study LAW, while teaching violin lessons.
One of his students was the cardinal's niece, he fell in love with her and the eloped.
The girl's father had him arrested, his own family didn't give him anymore money and the poor man roamed Itali without the love-of-his-life till he arrived in ASSISI.

He became an important composer and violonist......

Now his galant and elegant statue is in Piran to be admired.

This is the square which isn't square: it's round - actually to be precise it's a roundabout. However make no mistakes about it: it's a true jewel: all of Piran's most interesting buildings are place around this "square" - and the road that goes around it is little trafficked - since driving inside town is allowed to residents only.
This square was built in the 19th century by filling in the inner harbour and its named after the most illustrious Citizen of Piran: the violinist, composer and music theoretician Giuseppe Tartini
