Trieste hosts cultural events alongside Barcolana 58 regatta

The Barcolana 58 sailing event in Trieste is accompanied by a diverse series of cultural and historical activities running from October 2 to October 10. The festivities extend beyond the regatta to include various evening appointments across the city, including Piazza Unità, Piazza Verdi, and Borgo Cavana.

Key highlights include the inauguration of a new section at the 'Diego de Henriquez' Museum of War for Peace on October 2, which is dedicated to the bathyscaphe Trieste. This exhibit aims to connect maritime research and technology with the city's history. Additionally, local literature and mythology are being explored, such as in Edda Vidiz’s work 'Dove nasce l’Adriatico', which blends geology, classical mythology, and local legends to examine the origins of the Adriatic Sea and the history of the Timavo river.
