Trieste, the opposite of tourism. Aegean literary city of layered complexity, ambiguity, and paradox. A 'nowhere' destination for the slow unravelings of inspiration and meandering exploration.
The essence of a lazy summer afternoon idling at a piazza cafè - a sparking cocktail of prosecco and elderflower wine, fresh apricots, green fig, citrus, mandarins, and effervescent summer musks.
Among your stones and fogs, I am
on vacation. I relax in Piazza
dell’Unità instead
of stars
Every evening words light up
No rest from life, like
life.
- Umberto Saba
