The 116th anniversary of the proclamation of Bulgaria's Independence will be solemnly celebrated in the picturesque Italian town of Brunate on Lake Como. It is organized by the Bulgarian-Italian Society "Pencho Slaveykov" with the assistance of the Consulate General of the Republic of Bulgaria in Milan and the Municipality of Brunate.   

The beginning of the two-day celebrations under the title "The Independence of Bulgaria and the Slaveykov family" will be held on September 21 at 4 pm in the library of Brunate. On this occasion, Milena and Elena Slaveykov will present the family tree of their ancestors from the prominent Bulgarian Slaveykov family. 

The monument to Pencho Slaveykov in Brunate
Prominent Bulgarian poet Pencho Slaveykov spent the last days of his life in Brunate on Lake Como, where he died in 1912 at the age of 46. Opposite the house where he lived is the poet's library and garden with his bust-monument, which was placed there in 2007.
