The Triestine Treasure Hunt Challenge

Looking for something to do today? How about a good old-fashioned Treasure Hunt Tour of Trieste? The first person to complete all tasks wins a delicious Spritz Bianco (with ice and lemon) courtesy of Life in Trieste.

Good luck, and NO CHEATING!

1. The Giant Mortadella (Don't call it Baloney, but that's what it really is) at Da Giovanni's in Via San Lazaro. Have you seen it? Enormous. Troubling.

Your task:
Eat a full slice. Wash it down with a Spritz Bianco.  Take a selfie for proof.

2. The covered market in Largo Barriera.

Your task:
Buy some "Ravanei." Just keep asking until you find a stand that has them. You get extra credit if you pull this one off at the Mercato all'ingrosso.

3. The blue lights in Piazza Unità that signal where the water used to be before they filled it all in.

Your task:
Get a picture of the Piazza "By Night". Explain to me in two paragraphs or less what the hell they were thinking when they planned that.

4. The Card Catalogue at the Italian American Association (Piazza Sant'Antonio, 6).

Your task:
Take a picture of a check out card for a book that was checked out at least five times.


5. The American flag on the painting in the Comune room where the voting happens.

Your task:
Get a selfie with it.
