Well, well, well. As "Triestin" I would award this as the best video about the city I was born in, and where I spent a big part of my life. There is more to say about Trieste, but what said in this video is correct and complete. Only additions are needed, not amendments 😉. I'd like to make an addition about the reason why the large coffee shops in this town. You can connect this to the presence of a variety of churches of different religions, so different cultures. Maria Theresa, who was a wise queen, conceded the freedom of religion wisdom. So everyone had his own church, but how to socialize all together despite cultural differences? The coffee was the drink accepted by rules of every religion. So, let's give the people big coffee shops where they can gather and make business. Smart, isn't it? After all Trieste was the harbour of the empire. Among the "caffé" still in business the Tommaseo is the oldest (unfortunately not mentioned in the video, but taken in a few pics passing by) and the San Marco is the most decorated. Both deserve a visit.

Hi, I'm going to Trieste next week. Can I ask You some questions about this beautiful city? Maybe we can contact in some social media?

[@jumboon]

@@yourlifeyours Hi, I am not in town at the moment. Actually 24 years living in Ireland and not going back. So I am not much up to date about the city.

I was in Trieste shortly before my birthday. Truly is my favourite city in Italy. Wonderful blend of cultures and history!

i'm going there this fall, can you recommend some restaurants?!

[@glennjelich3174]

Great video Michele, Trieste is where my parents were from before they immigrated to Australia. It is the most un-Italian city in Italy and is very much a melting pot of cultures and cuisines which makes it very cosmopolitan. Your video provides a good introduction into the highlights of Trieste, there is so much more to see in the city and its surrounds. The coastline, the surrounding forested hills and the food scene is certainly worth exploring. It's great that you are promoting the city as it really is a hidden gem.........part of it's charm as it is not over-run by hoards of tourists......yet.

[@IntrepidItalian]

Grazie! So glad you enjoyed it 🤩🙏

Would Croatia be easily accessed from Trieste...Santorini?

[@RosalindaHenry-hm5jc]

My mama was born there, and raised there then married my dad, an American sodier.Her favorite food was saurkraut and polenta. Of course, my older sister and I were raised on food from this area😊

[@Multiplads]

When you arrive to Trieste you can notice these two panels on the road: città del caffee (city of coffee) and città della barcolana (the biggest sailing race in the world with almost 3000 sailing boats participating in the race). Speaking of coffee, my favorite spots to taste coffee in Trieste are: Caffè degli Specchi, Caffè San Marco, Illy Corner at Eataly directly on the sea. The variety of cold and hot coffees and creativity you can drink at Illy’s is second to none. There is another coffee in Trieste called Triestina Artigianale, not far away from Piazza Unità. The place is called Torrefazione La Triestina di Ariella Doz. Here you can only buy coffee. The best ice cream ever you can find in Gelateria Zampolli at Via Ghega 10. Just go for one of the five Senza nome tastes, memory for life guaranteed.

The best travelogue/vlog on Trieste on KZbin. I went to Trieste about 20 years ago and didn't know any of these sights existed. I'm tempted to go back and see it the right way. I'll also bring Jan Morris' s book about the city, which has fascinated her for decades. Thank you.

Great informative video. I was in Trieste in the early 90's and came across a lot of Croatian & Slovenian people that have lived there for generations.

[@IntrepidItalian]

Grazie mille 🤩

[@majstter7420]

Yes, that's mainly because Trst (Trieste) was always Slovenian city. It belonged to Austrian empire together with the rest of Slovenia and shared the same destiny for centuries. Ethnic Italians started moving there only after 1920, it's similar situation like Südtirol. None of those areas is rightfully Italian.

[@brina9807]

​@@majstter7420comprati un libro di storia, magari obbiettivo.

[@alexanderarfhauser1866]

Not even by far. Austrian censuses themselves disprove your delusional claims showing Slovenians have always been less than 25% of city’s overall population. Even stating Trieste’d have shared “the same destiny” of “the rest of Slovenia” is baseless, considering it has never been part of any of the predominantly- Slovenian entities of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, such as the nearby Carniola or the Eastern part of the county of Gorizia and Gradisca. Moreover, if you want to go back in history, the city was never conquered by the king Samo and his ancestors (6th century). Therefore there’s no continuity whatsoever with “the rest of Slovenia”. The only period the city was ever subjected to a Slavic statehood is thus limited to the 40 days of Tito’s occupation, which is still remembered as a nightmare even by non- communist local Slovenians. Lepo se imej!

[@seattleportista4150]

Grazie Michele! What sets your video apart from the no doubt hundreds on KZbin is that you didn't just show up as a tourist, film some buildings and leave (after asking for money), but actually did the homework. You told us about the history of the city, the context-- why is Trieste different from the rest of Italy, with the Habsburg dynasty's ownership, the Slovenian influence, etc. [Also, a side comment: You listed the five most important phrases in Italian, but should have given the sixth: "Dov'e la toilette?" There are no good hand signs for that one! Cheers!]

[@lislearnitalianwithsongs]

Thanks for this video! I’m not from Trieste, but I live very close and I’ve studied there for many years and I often go there. Although it’s a crazy city when it comes to find a spot to park your car, I’m always amazed at how beautiful this city and its surroundings are. It’s one of the least Italian cities one could think of but it definitely has its charm. It is really rich, culturally speaking, and people from Trieste can be a lot of fun! One of the rather absurd peculiarities of Trieste is the way its citizens order coffee… Ordering coffee as a local at a bar in Trieste requires the knowledge of a lingo which is not understood in any other Italian town. I’m planning to make a lesson about it on my new channel (not this one with the pizza, which is dedicated only to songs). Grazie per il video!!!

Greetings from Albuquerque, New Mexico USA! 🌻Really enjoyed your video👍. Your Italian is perfect. My mama was born in Trieste 1930. I remember her telling me that when the war broke out they would go down to the basement of the apartment and listen to the radio She was Only 10 at that time and so She thought it was a game She didn't realize the horrors of the War until She went to school later on and saw some horrible things. Married my dad, an American soldier, in Trieste in 1949. That's where my sister was born. We visited Mama's family often. This video brings back warm and happy memories. ❤❤

Very nice quality video! I like the way you apply yourself in your historical synopsis of sights. You make it clear, condensed, precise, up beat and you don't loose your thread. I also liked the way you covered histories dark past by adding your own emotions. Trieste is a wonderful cosmopolitan city with spectacular views; with a mix of enchanting litte streets and enchanting little spots you want to get lost in.

Excellent video on Trieste, most visitors that make videos on Trieste just walk around the city centre. You've at least included some of the more interesting places to see such as the Grotto Gigante, Duino Castle and especially the Risiera di San Sabba (which I don't think I've seen anyone include in their Trieste guides before)

Nice and educational video but at the history part you forgot to mention a huge part of this area. Fascist violence against the native Slovenian population, which is lasting for more than 100 years. The height of the Italian terror was in the period between the two great wars. At the beginning of the 20th century, Trieste was the largest Slovenian city. During this time, approximately 50,000 inhabitants of Trieste declared as Slovenes.

[@alexanderarfhauser1866]

History was not your favourite subject!!!

The real violence was of the partisans of Tito ( communists) against the Italians!!!!
