Discover Trieste – part one

Trieste was for decades the last frontier of Italy with the East. Nobody knew where it was located, who thought in Trentino, who directly in Yugoslavia. Instead, this beautiful city by the sea, surrounded by the hilly hinterland of the Karst, with the Unity square that opens onto the Adriatic incorporating the sea in the city center, has been for hundreds of years the main port of the Habsburg Empire. In Vienna Trieste they remember well, they all know where it is, and for the architectural similarity with the Austrian capital, it is nicknamed "the little Vienna by the sea".

After being the subject of interest in overseas newspapers like The Guardian here  https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2018/aug/13/trieste-italy-locals-guide-10-tips-eat-drink-do

and the Washington Post here https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/travel/2002/07/21/a-heartfelt-triestemonial/bcd2a1d22-0f9b-4deb-9701-848eec332096/

The New York Times here: https://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/06/dining/by-the-book-a-melting-pot-of-italian-cooking.html

a way has been opened, so that the particular uniqueness of Trieste is discovered: ancient port of Central Europe, melting pot of various languages, cultures and religions (besides Italian and Slovene, native languages, German, Serbo-Croatian, Hebrew, Greek were fluent). From Italy itself they discover this city, remaining fascinated by the grace of its palaces, memory of ancient splendor, the sea at your fingertips, the cool of the Karst and its "osmizze", where you can taste wine and local meats and cheese. 

Buying a house here is becoming a bit fashion, a bit dream, a bit reality: and the buyers of recent years come from various countries, and we begin to touch with our hands again the multiculturalism, multilingualism, the enrichment that brings the exchange between linguistic and cultural diversity. Enjoy Trieste, the little Vienna by the sea!
