Today is our Slovenian cultural holiday that is dedicated to one of slovenian most known poets, France Pre\u0161eren. One of the more important works that he wrote is our national anthem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

France Pre\u0161eren was born in the small village Vrba\u00a0on the 3rd December of\u00a01800. He showed considerable talent as a chid and his parents gave him a good education as they were a well situated peasant family.<\/p>\n

After elementary schools in Grosuplje and Ribnica, he moved to Ljubljana, where he attended the State Gymnasium. Here\u00a0the poet Valentin Vodnik encouraged him to develop his literary skills and as a high school student, he became friends with another important person on his way,\u00a0the\u00a0philologist Matija \u010cop, who\u00a0had important influence on\u00a0his poetry.<\/p>\n

Then the University of Vienna followed, where he studied law. He became extremely\u00a0fascinated by the\u00a0artists in the range from\u00a0Homer to Goethe,\u00a0and the most of all by\u00a0Dante and the Italian trecentists, such as\u00a0Boccaccio and Petrarch. After\u00a0the law degree in 1828, he returned to Ljubljana and got work as an assistant in the office of the lawyer Leopold Baumgartner.\u00a0In 1832 he moved to Klagenfurt for a short time, but returned to Ljubljana after less than a year. And then he meet her, Julija.<\/p>\n

\"julija\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Julija Primic was\u00a0 the daughter of a wealthy Merchant from Ljubljana and became\u00a0the poet’s unrequited love.\u00a0He meet her in the known church in Trnovo, near the city centre and for a long time she was the inspiration of his poems about love.<\/p>\n

He was 34 years old in 1833 when he meet her and after three years of passionate poetry about his love, he finally realized that there was no hope for his love to be mutual with his choosen one. In this time a lot of amazingly beautiful love songs were born and one very known is\u00a0Sonetni venec (A Wreath of Sonnets)\u00a0and of course was dedicated to Julija.<\/p>\n

He died in the 1849.\u00a0In the centre of Ljubljana you can see the beautiful statue of him\u00a0in the Pre\u0161ernov trg square, near the tripple bridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pre\u0161eren Monument was designed by the architect Maks Fabiani and the sculptor Ivan Zajc.\u00a0The sculpture reveals\u00a0the poet standing tall with\u00a0the muse of poetry holding a spring of laurel above his head. And the best part of the position of\u00a0the monument\u00a0is that\u00a0it’s facing Julija Primic. Her statue\u00a0indeed, is\u00a0on the fasade of a building across the square, in the street called\u00a0Wolfova ulica.<\/p>\n

\"julija<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So is\u00a0the destiny, that\u00a0he will have eyes only for her, forever.<\/p>\n
