It was a magnificent October evening in Trieste on Friday, 28 when the InTrieste team gathered at Eataly store to present its fall issue to public. The big surprise was the presence of Fulvio Marino who was there to join the team in the presentation of his new book.
Publisher Maria Kochetkova was joined by web and business manger, Francesco Stumpo along with Victo and Ashley Caneva, writers and ‘InTrieste Morning Show’ hosts on Radio Fragola, and Lucia Varlotta, writer and reporter, the new edition to the team.
“Wow, so many people are out here tonight!” Fulvio Marino exclaimed as he took one look at a room packed full of spectators eagerly waiting for the presentation. “It’s wonderful!”
“I texted Fulvio a couple of weeks ago saying we needed to take a picture of him for our fall issue and wondered when he was coming down to Trieste,” said Maria. “To which he proposed organizing our fall issue and his book presentation together. We were really excited, and of course instantly said yes!”
“Fulvio is special to us for many reasons,” continued Maria. “He was the first celebrity we interviewed when we became an official magazine on 10 June 2021 for our first official print issue. So having him here in Trieste, together with us… it’s a dream come true.”
“I am really happy to be here,” said Fulvio Marino. “Trieste is one of my favorite cities. And you know, my last name means “from the sea”, so I am drawn to coastal towns. Trieste is special in many ways.”
