Duino-Aurisina, Italy "Quaintseeker: Duino-Aurisina, Italy" Duino-Aurisina in Italy is named after the two important settlements which are referred to as Aurisina and Duino. It is made of several other parishes such as Ceroglie, Malchina, Precenico, San Pelagio, Slivia, Villaggio del Pescatore and many more. The commune's defining features include caves and other historic buildings. Apart from that, Duino-Aurisina has been a host to distinguished luminaries such as Ivan Ples, Alojz Rebula, Rainer Maria Rilke and others. Created by: Cityseeker 6 Locations Bookmarked San Giovanni in Tuba "Ancient Gothic Church" The Chiesa di San Giovanni in Tuba is located near the city gates, in the Duino-Aurisina district. It is easy to reach by car or bus. It is located near the start of the Timavo river, famous for its long and mysterious underground path. Inside the Church you can see the remains of Paleochristian basilica, and the mosaic floor, with octagonal pieces, by Rasevic resembles that of Aquileia, a town just outside Trieste which is famous for its Roman remains dating back to before the 5th Century. The site's sacredness is indicated by the presence of various votive epigraphs to Saturn, Hercules, and Spes Augusta, as well as by the church's dedication to Saint John the Baptist. There is a small archeological site next to the Church which is called the Antiquarium. +39 040 201 7111 [email protected] San Giovanni al Timavo, Duino-Aurisina Bay of Sistiana "One of Europe's Spectacular Bays" In specialist magazines this has been described as 'one of the world's top ten bays. Go on a winter's day and you get to enjoy the winter sea, go in May and you will get a whiff of the summer air, mixed with sea pines. The calendar of seasonal events is quite fixed and goes from markets to flea markets to concerts. In the bay, there are refreshment areas and two by Frieda bathing establishments. You can reach the bay by car but in summer it is best to park in Sistiana and reach the bay on foot as the walk is beautiful, or you can take the free shuttle bus supplied by the Trieste authorities between June and September. Further information can be obtained from the public relations office of the Duino-Aurisina region. Bay of Sistiana, Duino-Aurisina by luca.sartoni Bagno Castelreggio "Stunning Beach" Bagno Castelreggio is the pride and one of the major attractions of Duino- Aurisina. Local and international tourists visit this beach throughout the year making it one of the busiest beaches in the region. Whether to splash in the refreshing water or simply laze around watching the world go by, visiting Castelreggio while in the city is a must. +39 040 201 7111 Frazione Sistiana 74, Duino-Aurisina Duino Castle "Castle Overlooking the Gulf of Trieste" Duino Castle is located close to Trieste, Italy. The castle was erected in the 14th Century overlooking the Gulf of Trieste over the remains of an 11th-century castle. It was occupied by Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis and his wife Princess Marie in the 19th Century and is known to be the venue where the renowned poet Rainer Maria Rilke penned his best by Aconcagua (talk) work titled Duino Elegies. The castle is now owned by the descendant of Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis and operates as a park and exhibition center. +39 040 208120 castello-di- [email protected] Frazione Duino 32, Duino- duino.business.site/ Aurisina Sentiero Rilke "Enjoyable Walk Dedicated to German Author" The beautiful Sentiero Rilke has woods on one side and breathtaking views over the Sistiana Bay on the other. It is only a few kilometers long and an easy walk. It starts from the seasonal base of the Azienda di promozione turistica di Sistiana and ends at the entrance to the village of Duino. To get to this path from Trieste, take the number 44 bus, which by Tiesse stops across the road from the head of the path. If you drive, then be aware that there is limited parking space; you might want to park further down the road. +39 040 67 961 Via Duino, Duino-Aurisina Portopiccolo Sistiana "Beautiful And Romantic View" A beautiful paradise Duino Aurisina, Portopiccolo Sistiana is a destination that you can visit no matter what time of the year.

UWC Adriatic was established in 1982 with support from the regional government of Friuli Venezia Giulia and is located on premises owned by the Region, that has given the college full rights of use at no cost. In 2015 a group of generous UWC Adriatic alumni, the former Rettore of the college, David Sutcliffe and the college donor Liliana Stock Weinberg jointly established the Stock Weinberg - Edward Sutcliffe Foundation in order to help UWC Adriatic thrive and attain a more solid financial situation through the acquisition of movable and real estate assets. The foundation’s first project was the purchase of a building in Duino (the former Duino Park Hotel), so as to provide UWC Adriatic with a new residence – the Purnama House Project.

  • Austro-Italian Cadastres
    THE ITALIAN OLD CADASTRES FROM THE STATE ARCHIVES TO THE WEB OBSERVATIONS ON THE EXISTING PROJECTS • The maps and records of the various ceased cadastres of pre-unity Italian regional states and of the post-unity Kingdom of Italy, realized by both central and local offices, responsible for the surveying and activation of cadastres, are today preserved in the State Archives. • The archival administration consequently detains a heritage of inestimable value, which over the years has proved to be among those most actively consulted in the study halls by a a growing number of users with diversified interests. • We provide general guidelines concerning the projects aimed at Web publishing series of maps related to cadastres activated in italian pre-unity territories ruled by Austrian Monarchy : Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom and Adriatic Litorale. • All the information items are derived mainly from the presentations of the same projects, which are to be referred to for further investigations. • The first significant experiences in digital reproduction of this material with no intermediate photographical support were realized at the end of the nineties. • To that time dates the first appearance on the market of digital acquisition systems consisting of reliable digital scan-backs for professional photocameras or scanners for medium and large sizes suitable for cadastral maps. • From 1997 to 2004 the archives of Milan, Rome, Cagliari, Venice, Turin carried out pilot projects (Imago Projects) aimed at the digital reproduction of entire series of cadastral maps and historical collections of pre-cadastral maps. • A few document management systems were designed for various institutes (Milan, Turin, Venice), upon specifications by the University of Genoa (DIBE Departement), by the company Elsag.

  • SOCIOECONOMIC STRUCTURE of the SLOVENE POPULATION in ITALY Ales Lokar and Lee Thomas
    SOCIOECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE SLOVENE POPULATION IN ITALY Ales Lokar and Lee Thomas Ethnic Structure of FPiuli-Venezia Giulia ~n Italy, the Slovenes live almost exclusively in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which is divided politically into four provinces. Ther are, from west to south-east, Pordenone, Udine (Viden), Gorizia (Gorica) and Trieste (Trst), named after the respective provincial capitals. The regional capital is Trieste, which is also the largest city, having approximately 300,000 inhabi­ tants. The provinces are subdivided into comuni, roughly corresponding to American counties. Data in this study are by comuni, since they are the smallest political divi­ sions for which population and socioeconomic data are available. 2 The region Friuli-Venezia Giulia is inhabited by four different ethnic groups: Italians, Friulians, Slo­ venes and Germans. Officially, however, the ethnic com­ position of the region is not clearly established, as the official Italian census, carried out at ten year inter­ vals, does not report data by ethnic groups. This is true for the region as a whole, except for the comuni of the Trieste province, where the last two censuses (1961, 1971) did include data on the Slovene population. For the other comuni of the region only estimates are avail­ able, based on the work of various researchers,3 but there are no official statistics. The members of the non-Italian groups do not accept the validity of the re­ sults of these investigations, nor do they believe the census data where those are available. Their argument is that the census data are biased for political and socio­ economic reasons, that Italians are the so-called "state nation" and are politically, economically and socially dominant in the region, while the other three groups may be considered as dominated minorities.
