It’s a city

!

Please, don't come. There are already too many tourists. The city center has become almost unlivable in the Summer.

The alternative would have probably been worse, considering that Trieste has been slowly dying since WWI, more or less. Like Venezia (and arguably, various other parts of Italy), it was built to do something that is now largely unnecessary, so it will likely survive only as a curiosity.

The curse of living in the most desirable country on Earth to visit!

I come occasionally for pizza and ice cream, sorry.
