Abstract
Trieste is a charming port city on the Adriatic Sea in the northeast corner of Italy, home to nearly 300,000 and capital of the Friuli-Venezia-Giulia region. Though Trieste has ancient roots as the Roman settlement Tergeste, it was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when it became the most important port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, that Trieste grew and flourished. Its advantageous location at the crossroads between Latin, Slavic, and German civilizations certainly favored its rise to greater regional importance and bred a peculiar cosmopolitan atmosphere that survives to this day.
