(Collected and Edited by Jinfa Tie) .After two years' preparation, in an afternoon of Saturday 18th October the knot of the largest necktie in the world was tied around the Pula Arena. The creator of this grandiose art installation was prof. Marijan Busic, the head of the non-profit making establishment "Academia Cravatica", which promotes the tie as part of the Croatian and world cultural heritage. The head designer of the firm Potomac-Croata. The designers of the idea and feasibility study were Mr. Sc. Damir Corko (for the part of the tie around the Arena) and dr. sc. Bruno Calic (for the construction of the knot and the load bearing construction outside the Arena).
This world scale "mega-tie" is of incredible dimensions: it is 808 m long, and at its widest it measures 25 m. The knot of the tie is 15 m long, at its widest it is 16.5 m wide and at its most narrow point it is 5.4 m wide. The height of the tie from the narrowest to the widest part is 3.5 m. This world scale cultural media spectacle aroused a great deal of attention from the local and world media, including about ten television companies, including CNN and ARD.

The tying of the knot of the necktie was recorded several times from the air (by helicopter from the Ministry of Defense) and what was probably the most beautiful sight of the entire event began when, in order to spread out the lower part of the Tie (below the knot), hundreds of local people became involved in a long chain to take part in the installation, holding the Tie up. On the recordings from the air, the Arena truly resembled the giant neck of Veli Joze, as the creator of the installation Marijan Busic has said, and the tie around the Arena was impressively similar to a normal tie with a tied knot.

And finally one more interesting thing. The final phase of the execution of the installation on Saturday was made more difficult and slowed down by a strong bora wind. Precisely because of the great vulnerability of the installation to wind, the lower part of the tie was put away that same evening with the help of the local people, but the knot and the part of the tie around the Arena was taken down the next day, on Sunday. But the point of the art installation had been achieved: a picture of the largest tie in the world had gone around the globe! (Dino Bedrina)
