A panoramic one on Trieste, just I pay to one city of which going fairs; and the Triestine whom he gives to them still greater lustro.
The origins of the city of Trieste are ancient, however they are of modest entity the traces, committees until we, of its remotest one passed.
Already into the millenium a.C. all the territory of the province of Trieste, dall'altopiano to the sea, was center of protostorici takeovers: the castellieri; it was a matter of villages of dimensions ridottissime, defends to you on the protect heights and from characteristic fortifications in stone, whose inhabitants belonged to one illirica population of stirpe Indo-European.
The legend wants that also the mitologico Greek hero Giasone, to the search of the "vello d'ora", it disembarked with the Argonauts to the foci of the Timavo. A sacred forest, to the slopes of the Hermada mount, moreover would be dedicated to the heroes Antenore and Diomede.
 In the 50 a.C. approximately, the small village of fishermen divenne roman colony and the inhabited nucleus came encircled from forts walls and, subsequently, enriched of important constructions which the Hole and the Theatre, whose visible rests are anchor today on the hill of S.Giusto.
To leave dall'inizio of III the century d.C., l'urbe tergestina was repeatedly Travolta from the barbaric invasions and only to half dell'800, when the bishop Giovanni acquires from Lotario, king of the Franchi, the power on the city began one characterized historical phase from greater stability.
Trieste succeeded to assert itself hardly like free common in 1300 but, in the moment in which it came newly threatened the a lot yearned for autonomy, the city, in 1328, spontaneously placed under protection of Leopoldo III d'Austria, establishing along and fecund relationship with the Hasburg dynasty.
 The passage to the modern Trieste happened in 1719, when Carl decreed to YOU, with an edict, the freedom of navigation, opening therefore the doors to the commerce and assigning to the city the privilege of Free port. Subsequently, under Maria Teresa and Giuseppe II, the benefits granted to the city increased already prospering traffic, attracting contempo the origin varied persons and creating therefore that cosmopolitismo that still today is found again in the cult places, in the dialetto and same last name of the Triestine. The old village, all'interno of the medioevale perimeter, was not more enough to receive the inhabitants, whose number, in little time, remarkablly had grown and, consequently, the expanded city earning land on the forehead sea and progressively connecting several the necks that protendono to fan dall'interno towards the coast.
In '800, in a climate of general prosperity, they came to find great groups, the navigation companies, the Agriculture was developed and the artistic and cultural production grew. The increase of the city, on one hand made the area one of the more important centers of the time of the Hasburg empire, and on the other hand, strengthened the italian feeling, both culturally and politically.
A return to Italy, long anticipated, happened in 1918, in a tri-colored jubilation, but this annexation degraded Trieste to the role of "porta qualunque", or ordinary port, having lost, once freed from the legendery european context, its uniqueness.
As a result of a world-wide conflict, lands of the Istriana peninsula were lost, passages, as they were to the newly established Yugoslavia. The history of the city in those dark periods, is characterized from numerous and sad vicissitudes, many of which continue to be related still today, after more than half century. The fate of the city, expected to be determined by Yugoslavia, remained uncertain for a long time. It was divided into two parts, the first, from the Anglos-American and the second from the Yugoslav people. In the original, the city was subject to the adminsitration of the allied with the constitution of the Free Territory of Trieste. Only in 1954, with the company of the Memorandum of London, Trieste and its encompassing land finally was given back to Italy. |
