As the clock ticks down less 3 hours before the prestigious Honorary Degrees ceremony at the University of Trieste, anticipation fills the air. Behind the scenes, meticulous preparations are underway, with a chosen entrance adorned in regal fashion – a red carpet carefully laid, yet veiled, awaiting its grand reveal.
Inside, the bustle of activity is palpable. Cleaning staff diligently ply their trade, ensuring every corner gleams with perfection. Amidst the hustle and bustle, a sight catches the eye – side by side, the distinguished Master’s Degrees in Law destined for the illustrious hands of President Sergio Mattarella and his Slovenian counterpart, Borut Pahor.
Trieste University, resplendent in its centennial glory, spares no effort in hosting this momentous occasion. Rector Roberto Di Lenarda, alongside Minister of University Affairs, Anna Maria Bernini, stands poised to extend a warm welcome to President Mattarella on the grand steps of Piazzale Europa.
Outside, students bask in the sunlight during a rare respite from their studies. However, come tomorrow, this hallowed ground shall be cordoned off, reserved exclusively for the momentous arrival of the President at precisely 11 am. Save for the select few, regular classes shall resume unabated, a testament to the University’s commitment to academic rigor.
To ensure seamless operations, Trieste Transport steps up its game, bolstering services as swathes of parking lots shutter from gate 2 to 7. Only Rai vehicles, poised for live coverage, shall linger in the square, as the ceremony unfolds, broadcasting its grandeur to the masses via Rainews24 and the University’s official YouTube channel.
