In the northern part of the city, near Solkan, the border line suddenly and without any seeming rationale turns 90 degrees around an isolated villa, following its surrounding walls.

At the end of the Second World War the villa was owned by Countess Liduvska De Nordis Hornik, an adventurous business woman who moved to Kenya to personally manage her plantations. Legend has it that high level connections of the Countess kept her birthplace on Italian ground. When Liduvska joined the elite British community in Nairobi, she became friends with Sarah Churchill (third child of the famous British statesman) and housed her many times in Gorizia. It isn’t known if the deviation of the border was influenced by her influential contacts, or the legendary parties the rich woman organized for the Allies, but if it were so it would only substantiate how arbitrary things were at the time.
