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.

"Front gate of the exhibition."

 

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.
