After days of turbulent weather that swept through the region, the Municipality of Trieste has announced the reopening of its public gardens. The green spaces, which had been closed as a precaution against the strong winds and heavy rain, will welcome visitors again starting today, Wednesday, December 11.
The closures, aimed at ensuring public safety, affected several beloved parks and gardens throughout the city. The decision to reopen was made as weather conditions showed significant improvement, marking the end of a streak of storms that disrupted daily life.
Trieste, a city perched between the Adriatic Sea and the rugged Karst Plateau, is no stranger to extreme weather. The region’s infamous bora winds—capable of reaching hurricane-force speeds—often pose challenges during the colder months. Yet, city officials remain vigilant, ensuring swift responses to safeguard residents and visitors alike.
As the skies clear and temperatures stabilize, locals are expected to return to their cherished gardens for walks, relaxation, and the simple joy of being outdoors. Among the city’s most frequented spaces are the Parco di Villa Revoltella and the Giardino Pubblico Muzio de Tommasini, both of which offer tranquil retreats within the urban landscape.
The reopening serves as a reminder of Trieste’s resilience and its community’s enduring connection to nature, even amidst nature’s occasional fury.
