A didactic tribute to the golden Valencia of one hundred years ago, when the emblematic Regional Exhibition took place and the Hymn of the Maestro Serrano with letter of Maximiliano Thous was inaugurated.
Here are shown representative personages of that flourishing Valencia.
Valencia just arrived to 20th century, saw many illustrious, popular and remembered men and women. A time full of Valencian artists, poets, musicians, architects… who were accompanied by the people that gave life to the city, some magical years.
From that exhibition we conserved like a jewel the hymn that was used for its inauguration, that the composer Jose Serrano composed and poet Maximiliano Thous wrote. Their magicians chords begin with the vibrant March of the City of Valencia, and today, one hundred years later, we continued singing it, but now like the hymn of our Valencian Community.
"Valencia of 1909 was the scene of a great event, the Valencian Regional Exhibition, celebrated next to the Alameda avenue. That exhibition made Valencia to become modern."
"A celebration that almost lasted a year, full of games, activities, attractions, pavilions and buildings, like the municipal palace, one of more beautiful and than luckily still exists."
The most typical products to expose themselves to the Exhibition.
"Silk from Valencia, made the woman more beautiful. Our most well known fruit, Valencian orange. If there is something good in Christmas that is Jijona and Alicante nougat. The artichoke has an exquisite taste if it is from Benicarló. In Onil are made the toys that the three wise men bring to the children."
"The tiger nut milk of Alboraya comes, and is because there it is made very well. From Aldaia the fan comes, stops to the heat and give us chilly. A very fine wood furniture, of Benetusser, Alfafar and Sedaví. Chocolate of Villajoyosa."
"It is very fine and it is from Alcora, divine ceramics. For year end it is, grapes from Vinalopó. In order to have the foot warm, the carpets of Crevillente."
