Tomorrow is April 25, Festa Della Liberazione, as they call it around here. A day for celebrating the fall of Mussolini and the end of Nazi occupation in Italy. Here is a little link that gives you more info.
On a sadder note, did you know that Trieste was home to the only Nazi Concentration Camp in Italy? It is called the Risiera di San Sabba. Definitely worth a visit if you have never been there. Surprisingly, a lot of Triestini, especially young people, have never been there.
This week is a good time to learn more about Jewish history in Trieste. Start here. Then go here and scroll down.
Also make time to visit these museums.
Civico Museo Morpurgo (Via Imbriani, 5)
It's only open on Tuesdays, so plan ahead.
Jewish Museum Carlo and Vera Wagner (Via del Monte, 5/7)
Explanation here.
