A plaque to Bulgarian poetess Mara Belcheva was unveiled in the Italian town of Brunate near the bas relief of Pencho Slaveykov. The celebrated Bulgarian poet spent his last days in this Italian town. He passed away in 1912 in a local hotel. 

We gather Mara Belcheva and Pencho Slaveikov again after their death. This is an epic love story between the beautiful poetess Mara Belcheva and Slaveykov who was seriously ill at that time. This is love in the name of art, the author of the plaque sculptor Adrian Novakov says.

The plaque to poetess Mara Belcheva was unveiled at the initiative of the Consulate General of Bulgaria in Milan.
