On Wednesday, October 30, from 6 p.m., the exhibition "What the Italians built in Tuzla" was opened in the Atelier Ismet Mujezinović, and the work and activities of the Association of Italians were presented as part of the exhibition. The presentation of the association and the exhibition are organized by Matica hrvatska and Croatian dom within the framework of the Days of Matica hrvatska and Hrvatski dom Tuzla 2024. At the presentation of the association, president Knežiček presented the 30th annual work of the association, and especially the contribution of Italians to the urbanization of Tuzla and the cultural diversity of Tuzla and the surrounding towns where they live citizens of Italian origin. The exhibition confirmed that Tuzla has always been a city where people of different nations and religions lived, and Italians throughout history woven their lives and knowledge into this city and left a rich architecture that still adorns Tuzla today. The program was opened by professor Marica Petrović, and the presenter of the program is Maja Nikolić, journalist and TV host. The exhibition presented 8 panels with illustrations of buildings built by Italians and families of Italian builders Cordignano, Candotti, Gojo, Mott, Bancher and Piccolotti. The exhibition features models of the Great Gymnasium and the Old Post Office, buildings built by Cordignano and Candotti, which were demolished due to land subsidence in the urban part of Tuzla. The exhibition was realized in cooperation with the Tuzla Cultural Center and the Tuzla School of Construction and Surveying, whose students made models of the Gymnasium and the Post Office. As part of the exhibition, the public was introduced to the reconstruction of the mosque in Šerići, which was built from 1926 to 1928 by craftsmen from the Piccolotti family from Poljana near Kiseljak-Tuzlo.
