A steady drizzle failed to dampen spirits in Friuli Venezia Giulia this weekend, as locals and visitors alike found ways to embrace the city’s quiet charm.
Along Trieste’s waterfront, couples strolled under umbrellas, pausing for espresso at historic cafés. Bookshops and galleries offered cozy refuge, while wine bars filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses. In Piazza Unità, children splashed through puddles, undeterred by the gray sky.
For Trieste’s dwellers, the rain was merely a backdrop—life, as ever, carried on with elegance and resilience.
