MEMORIAL PLAQUE TO RUGJER BOSCOVICH Ode to the country of Vox Ragusei Last week, on June 20th 2017, on Piazzale Borromeo in the heart of Milan, a commemoration ceremony and performance took place for Ruder Bo1koviae, native of Dubrovnik and the most distinguished scientist in Croatia’s history, outside the Church of Santa Maria Podone, where he was buried on 13 February 1787. A memorial constructed of Dubrovnik Mironja stone was unveiled with the support of renowned lawyer, Cristian Pambianchi, an esteemed friend to Dubrovnik, and realized by the Croatia’s Consulate General in Milan. The immense work of Ruder Bo1koviae made a major contribution to the ultimate development of atomic theory, and he founded Milan’EUR(TM)s famous Brera Observatory. Bo1koviae studied physics, philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, pedagogy, geology, architecture, archaeology, optics, diplomacy, poetry and translation. The Bo1koviae Memorial unveiling ceremony was attended by Iva Paviae, Consul General of Croatia, Milan, Renata Margaretiae Urliae, Adviser to the President Grabar Kitaroviae, Jelka Tep1iae, Deputy Mayor of Dubrovnik, Jelena Pavieiae Vukieeviae, Deputy Mayor of Zagreb, Nikola Dobroslaviae, Dubrovnik-Neretva County Prefect, Romana Vla1iae, Director, Dubrovnik Tourist Board and many others. Duo Vox Ragusei, the Dubrovnik artists mezzo-soprano Diana Hilje and pianist Ivana Marija Vidoviae celebrated the unveiling of the new Bo1koviae Memorial, gracing this historic ceremony with both Italian and Croatian music. In June, Vox Ragusei toured to Italy twice, performing at three prestigious festivals in the South, then providing the music for this important event in Milan. Vox Ragusei is dedicated conveying music and friendship, to sharing Croatia’EUR(TM)s rich musical heritage, and especially Dubrovnik’EUR(TM)s, with the world. When the Milan of bells rang out at noon on 20th June, Vox Ragusei celebrated the unveiling of the new Bo1koviae Memorial in music, performing both Italian and Croatian hymns. The Croatian Ministry of Culture also supported a recital by Vox Ragusei in Milan, selected especially for this historic moment. It began with La Preghiera by the great Dubrovnik composer Antun Sorkoeeviae. In the middle came Dora Pejaeeviae’s Ave Maria: this gave the ceremony a moment of gentle intensity and tranquillity. Neither persistent sunshine, nor numerous sirens, nor noise in the square in the Milan summer throng, could obscure the message entering the hearts of those listening. To finish, Vox Ragusei performed the aria ‘Ode alla patria’EURŽ from Jakov Gotovac’s opera “Mila Gojsaliae”. The entire programme, with its dignity and sense of history, encapsulated the character of the heroine Mila Gojsaliae, and the rich heritage of the great Ruder Bo1koviae, an historic figure touched by eternity, and embodying it for all time.
