I've only lived in Trieste for 1 month and yet I've been completely overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things I didn't know about it and its thriving microcosms. We've had the chance to learn a great deal of new notions about Trieste's history, ranging from the influence of Maria Theresa to the story behind the recipe of one of the most iconic triestinian sweets: the so called " Pinza Triestina ".
It's astonishing to think that there are so many places I've never been to, even if I used to live in Monfalcone, which is just a shot away from Trieste. I was so dazzled by the amount of things I previously ignored so I set myself on a mission: explore every nook and cranny of the city. It will be a difficult task. Bear with me.
BTW.
The aspect of the course I'm most interested in is the food and drink sector. I think a person could discover - or guess- much aboyut another just by paying close attention to what she or he eats and drinks. A salad at lunch? Probably a businessman or a fitness enthusiast. Pizza and beer? Probably me.
Jokes aside food is one of the most relevant aspects of our existence, since the vast majority of the time we spend awake is devoted to acquiring some. It's an aspect that should never be underestimated and I honestly think a good meal can settle every dispute.
So, in my everlasting research for particular and interesting dishes and beverages, I found out that Trieste has its own special wines; 4 to be exact:
- Glera: white wine.
- Malvasia Istriano: white wine.
- Vitovska: white wine.
- Terrano: red wine.
Wish I had some.
Lizardly yours,
