Do you know what is the meaning of the Slavic root "MIL" in the composition of many popular names today: Milen, Milka, Milko and their derivatives? Behind three letters stands beautifully message: love! Or: Good!
According to some science researchers   for the names  then, all root "MIL" are variations of Michael, the name of the most powerful of Angels, the leader of the heavenly host: Archangel Michael. In translation from Greek means "like God," "godlike".
However all theories about the origin of names, revealed that  from the times  immemorial  , people believe that a person's name has magical powers to influence his fate.
The idea to bring together people whose lives are encoded into force of old root "MIL" first occurs the poet Milko Hristov. In 2014 He collects almanac "Made in Mil & Co" poems by 14 poets "Mill-Kremikovtzi" from Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia. This unusual idea and search for namesakes  who are working in different fields of art,  made him  the founder of an unusual club: over 20 "kind" -and artists from Bulgaria and abroad are members of the club. What's in common  for these people is the  love for creativity and understanding that art creates a more beautiful,a  loved world.
For the first time in 2016, Mill Kremikovtzi and people with similar names will meet in August to share the process of creating artwork. The seminar, hosted by the winery "Villa Justina" will  brought together from 12 and August 17-th  artists from Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia. The location is not accidental - at the foot of the beautiful Rhodope Mountains, Ustina  Village is located in a very convenient and accessible environment.

The owner of the wine cellar "Villa Justina" and host of the event - Milko Tsvetkov has provided substandard materials  which artists will create wine, white sails, bottles and wooden barrels. Inspired by the proximity of the beautiful mountains and the joy of communicating with kindred spirits, the authors will have the opportunity to examine to what extent identical and similar names mean similarity in attitudes and perception of art.
