About Trieste, Italy Overwiew Trieste is geographically at the center of Europe and is a crossroads between the Central-European and Mediterranean cultures. Located on a strip of land where the white Karst cliffs plunge abruptly into the sea, Trieste has been strongly affected by its history both in terms of architecture and life style. Evidence of the contact between different ethnic groups can be found in the local dialect, in the family names of the inhabitants, and in the local cuisine that cannot be found elsewhere in Italy. In its welcoming restaurants, the savory flavors of mid- European dishes, or the simple cooking typical of the Northern Adriatic, the healthy and colourful cuisine of the south, or delicate seafood dishes can be experienced. The spirit of Trieste can be found in its cafes, pubs and buffets, which are the traditional meeting places in the life of the city. Cafes in fact are parlours where you can rest, read national or international magazines, and meet people. They have been the cultural and political meeting points for writers and artist, such as Italo Svevo and James Joyce. Museums and theaters There are many historical buildings, the most famous is probably the romantic Miramare castle, the residence of the luckless Maximilian of Habsburg and Charlotte of Belgium. Moreover, Trieste is rich in prestigious museums boasting numerous collections of great artistic value, and in theaters, such as Giuseppe Verdi Opera theater, opened by 1801, which is one of the centers of cultural life with its winter opera and concert season, and the Operetta Festival during the summer. 69
Trieste and science Trieste is also a city of science, with a prestigious University and many worldrenowned laboratories, like the International Center for Theoretical Physics, the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biothechnology, the Research Area Park with its Synchrotron, as well the School of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators, and the Osservatorio Astronomico. The <strong>OGS</strong> National Institute is located in a beautiful green area on the Karst plateau near the Giant Cave, visited by thousands of tourist each year. A bit of history The Roman origins of Trieste are still visible in the well preserved remains near San Giusto Castle, which is the symbol of the city, together with the Romanesque Cathedral, and the remains of the Roman Theater erected by Quinto Petronio Modesto in the II Century A.D. Because of its geographical position, as a crossroads between important trade routes, possession of the city was contended by Venice, France and then Austria. After realizing the commercial importance of Trieste, and as a consequence of the decline of the Venetian Republic, the Austrian Empire proclaimed it a free port, thereby laying the foundation of modern Trieste and making it one of the most important ports in Europe. 70
