The Italian Embassy in Sarajevo sponsored this year too the amateur song contest “Sanremo giovani BiH”, the first one organised in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has now reached its third edition.
At the presence of the Italian Ambassador, Marco Di Ruzza, and following the initiative of the First Gymnasium of Sarajevo, a mini festival was held, gathering young Bosnian students who study the Italian language and others who love Italian music. The event featured performances by students from eight schools of six cities of the country (Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar, Kakanj, Foča, Trebinje), who thus took centre stage in the show that promotes Italian language and music. The event, which took place on 31 March, was also attended by Sarajevo Canton Minister of Education, Ms. Naida Hota-Muminović.
The public’s great interest in the event confirmed how much Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina appreciate the Sanremo festival, which – even weeks after the Italian Festival took place – still makes the young people of Bosnia and Herzegovina sing.
