May 27th marks the beginning of the 6th edition of “Trieste Crocevia di Culture” or “Trieste Crossroads of Cultures”
Trieste owes its beautiful multiculturalism to its long history of having established, peaceful coexistence of peoples all bringing in their own languages, folklore, religions, and artistic styles in music, architecture, etc. To celebrate Trieste’s diverse heritage, the Commune of Trieste, together with Altamarea Eventi, has come together to present the 6th edition of “Trieste Crossroads of Cultures.”
The program of events, which will run until the 4th of June, is designed to provide a window into the city’s multiculturalism through an exciting itinerary of tastings, tours of churches, museums, and a historic home, market shows and musical performances. Through these events, the friendships between the various ethnic-religious groups in Trieste will be celebrated.
At the center of the activities will be Piazza Ponterosso, historically the first square of the Borgo Teresiano and which has always been the site of a lively market that fully responded to the function of an emporium port where goods were unloaded, but also kept in storage, treated and made object of sale.
For the entire duration of the event, the square and the banks of the Grand Canal will relive those ancient glories with the presence of vendors of various product types and, at the same time, you can taste a great variety of typical dishes.
The events begin today, 27 May, at 11 am in Piazza Ponterosso. You can find the list of the events below.
