Klavdij Palčič, a leading ethnic Slovenian artist from Italy, has died aged 81 after a long illness, Primorski Dnevnik reported. He was a politically active member of the minority and headed the Slovenian Cultural and Economic Association for several years.
Alongside his teacher Avgust Černigoj (1898-1985) and Lojze Spacal (1907-2000), Palčič is considered one of the finest Slovenian artists from Trieste.
