The Winds of Change Once Called ‘The Capital of Nowhere’, the Northeast Italian City of Trieste Has Switched Between Nations As Often As Any in Europe
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX The apsidal mosaic in the Cathedral of San Giusto, depicting Christ between St Justus and St Servulus. Opposite: A view from Miramare Castle The winds of change Once called ‘the capital of nowhere’, the Northeast Italian city of Trieste has switched between nations as often as any in Europe.

Opposite left: Espresso cups at the ready. Far left: The former Trieste- TO WHOM DOES THE CITY OF TRIESTE BELONG? Opicina tram Maps show it belongs to Italy, right on the eastern edge, dangling from the rest of the country by a thin thread of territory. Ask the citizens of Rome or Milan, and you get a different answer. A 1999 poll showed 70 per cent of Italians believed Trieste does not count as Italy. Open a history book, and you can understand this confusion. In little over a century, Trieste has belonged to Austria-Hungary, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, become a free port under UK and US administration and, now, belongs to Italy again. It is a place where residents blinked and found their passports had changed colour. In many ways Trieste belongs to writers, for whom its statelessness was inspiration. Jan Morris calls Trieste ‘the capital of nowhere’ – a city lost ‘on a fold of a map’ whose shifting identity signified all of Europe, maybe all of the world.

Europeana Learning Scenario (Museum Educators)
Europeana Learning Scenario (Museum Educators) Title WISH YOU WERE HERE: Souvenirs from a journey around the world Author(s) Costanza Grassi Abstract Let’s go sailing around the world, let’s explore the unknown, let’s discover art and nature. This Learning Scenario tells the story of a journey around the world, a shared dream come true of a prince, a gardener and a painter. It will empower children’s curiosity and their spontaneous desire to discover new things and make their everyday life better through art, nature, and beauty. The aim is to drive them to never cease from their personal exploration, even using only their imagination, an indeed extremely powerful tool, especially in complicated times (such as these of pandemic emergency). We will go in the middle of the Indian Ocean and beyond, we will look for tracks in Archives and Museums, without leaving our home. We will send a postcard and then we will return with brand new notions, never seen before plants and, most important of all, new ideas. Keywords World exploration, postcard, personal identity, creativity, imagination Table of summary Table of summary Subject History, Geography, Art, Literature Topic World exploration, scientific travels Age of participants 10 – 12 Suitable setting for Online video conference systems like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc... implementation Activity time 1 hour (online) Online educational Google maps material Saint Paul Island Wikipedia Maximilian I of Mexico SMS Novara (1850).
