Piazza Unità, one of Trieste’s most iconic public squares, was cordoned off on Thursday as a dramatic scene unfolded for the television series Estranei. As the production unfolded, many passersby in Piazza Unità stopped to observe the unusual activity.
The square, usually bustling with residents and tourists, was temporarily transformed into a cinematic set featuring an unexpected element: a gun.
The scene, which involved the appearance of a firearm, was part of a scripted sequence for the show. Elena Radonicich, an actress known for her role in the acclaimed series La porta rossa, stars in Estranei as a carabiniere, or Italian police officer. The shoot also saw the Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia building, an important regional government structure, being repurposed as a bank for the purposes of the scene.
