If you understand Italian, be aware that the word volentieri, that means "(yes,) with pleasure!" in standard Italian, is used in Trieste with the meaning of "no, sorry!". For example, if you ask in a shop "May I have...?" and they answer "volentieri", don't expect to get what you wanted. Leave a Comment

Nearly everybody in Trieste can speak more than one language.
Italians speak Italian and dialect. It is very rare to meet a local who doesn't speak dialect, probably because s/he find it too rude. On the contrary, it is more difficult to find someone who speak a very good Italian. The same happens in Gorizia, Venezia and other towns in Veneto, where everybody speak dialect, too.
Slovenians living in Trieste speak, additionally, Slovene and Slovene dialect. This is an absurd mix of Italian and Slovene. Most of the talk is in Slovene but they insert Italian words here and there. I wouldn't recommend learning it! Leave a Comment

... you see Armani in the shops and on the people in the street
....you find yourself noticing what men are wearing and thinking how sharp they look
.....the police women make the job look sexy
.....you start taking photos of bedlinen in a Department Store ( Coin) because it's so artisitically displayed
....but most of all when you come upon this most loveable of Italian icons, The Fiat Bambino.
I visited Trieste after five days in Rovinj on the Istrian Peninsula. Rovinj is the most idyllic of towns but it's small and mostly concerned with fishing boats and the sea. Trieste was a bit of a culture shock to me and left me in no doubt that I was in Italy.

The Teatro Comunale Giuseppe Verdi was opened on 21st April, 1801. It was built in Neoclassical style by Matteo Pertsch, who clearly drew inspiration from the Teatro alla Scala of Milano.
The theatre is situated at Piazza Verdi, a foot from Piazza d'Unita. Leave a Comment

We were quite surprised to happen upon a girls' basketball game in Piazza Sant Antonio. It appeared to be two school groups as they were in uniform and exchanged some sort of card before the game. The girls looked to be about 12-14, about the same age as my oldest granddaughter who is an avid BB player. (She could have handled any of them - offense or defense). The first goal of the game came when one of the girls in yellow scored in the wrong basket. The best player on the court was the smallest girl in a red uniform. She scored her team's other 4 points. After about 20 minutes it started to rain and the game was called off. The red team won 6-4. I was really pulling for the little girl as my granddaughter is frequently the smallest (but best) on her teams. Leave a Comment

 La Costa dei Barbari by paoseo
The place most crowded is limited by a little building built next the path that is a long the coast and by a small beach of white stones.
To get there coming down you have to get to an old road that is ont the sea-side of the way that links the road 14 Triestina to the Highway A4 Trieste Venezia. This part of the road is used as a parking, and is a little before Sistiana, in front of the sweet shop "Pasticseria alla Costa dei Barbari".From here start some paths that go towards the sea or from the down directly from "Sistiana mare". If you get there from the coast you can get to Sistiana by car to the Restauran Castelreggio; in the summer you have to pay for the parking. The coastal path starts immediately after the resaturant and passes near a cava that is still working; after the cave the path takes you to an old ironed gate: it's from that point that "Costa dei Barbari"starts.
