In response to severe weather conditions, the Municipality of Trieste has announced the early closure of several fenced public gardens across the city. The closures will take effect on Thursday afternoon, January 16, and will remain in place until weather conditions improve, according to municipal authorities.
The decision affects a number of popular green spaces, including the following:
- Public Garden “de Tommasini” on Via Giulia
- “Falcone e Borsellino” Garden in Altura
- Basevi Garden
- “Fra M.V. Antollovich” Garden on Via Carpineto
- “Wanda e Marion Wulz” Garden on Via Catullo
- “Fedora Barbieri” Garden on Via Mascagni
- Garden on Via San Michele and Campagna Prandi
- Villa Cosulich Garden on Strada del Friuli
- Villa Engelmann Garden on Via Chiadino
- Bazzoni Park on Via Navali
- Skatepark on Via Petitti di Roreto
- Garden on Piazza Hortis
- Garden on Vicolo dell’Edera
- Maddalena Garden on Via Molino a Vento and Via Costalunga
- Villa Revoltella, though access to the church within the grounds will remain available during standard opening hours.
City officials emphasize that the closures are a precautionary measure to ensure public safety in light of the unpredictable weather. Gusty winds, heavy rain, and potential hazards such as falling branches have created conditions that make it unsafe to keep the gardens open to the public.
One exception to the closures is the garden of Villa Sartorio on Via dei Modiano, which will remain accessible during its usual hours. However, its use will be limited to work-related activities within the villa’s buildings.
The Municipality has pledged to reopen the gardens as soon as conditions allow and urges residents to monitor updates via official channels.
This precautionary measure reflects a broader commitment to ensuring the safety of the public while preserving the city’s cherished green spaces. As Trieste endures the impact of winter’s harsher side, locals are reminded to exercise caution and patience until the gardens can reopen.
