  6. Virginia Tonelli, partigiana friulana, martire della Resistenza, medaglia d’oro alla memoria

    La prima biografia riguardante la lotta partigiana nella Destra Tagliamento è un’opera di Mario Lizzero, uno dei più importanti dirigenti politici della sinistra friulana, che fu commissario di tutte le formazioni partigiane garibaldine del Friuli, dedicata alla figura di Virginia Tonelli “Luisa” <172. Questo testo narra la vita di Virginia Tonelli dalla nascita fino alla morte nella risiera di S. Sabba, campo di sterminio nazista, situato a Trieste.
    Virginia Tonelli, nata a Castelnuovo nel 1903, dopo l’adolescenza trascorsa nel paese nativo, si trasferisce per lavoro a Venezia, dove svolge la professione d’infermiera in un ospedale per bambini handicappati. Nel 1933 emigra in Francia, dove rimane fino al 1943; dal ritorno in Italia entra nella Resistenza organizzando i Gruppi di Difesa della Donna, gruppi di donne che supportano i partigiani, con mansioni sanitarie e di propaganda, oltre a curare i collegamenti fra i vari reparti partigiani. “Luisa” è attiva nella lotta di liberazione, fino al suo arresto, a Trieste nel settembre 1944; dopo la carcerazione nel carcere triestino fu trasferita alla risiera di S. Sabba dove fu uccisa il 29 settembre 1944.
    Il racconto della vita di Virginia Tonelli comincia dalla descrizione della sua famiglia e della situazione economica della stessa. L’autore afferma che dopo lo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale in Friuli era quasi impossibile trovare cibo e quindi la famiglia Tonelli dovette affrontare lunghi viaggi per il proprio sostentamento; secondo Lizzero le fatiche dell’infanzia lasciarono tracce, sia nel fisico sia nella formazione morale di “Luisa” <173. L’autore descrive, in uno dei primi capitoli del testo, l’antifascismo a Castelnuovo e nella zona dello spilimberghese, citando gli antifascisti condannati dal tribunale speciale. Questa parte del testo è utile per capire l’ambiente in cui è cresciuta Virginia Tonelli e l’influenza che ebbe nella sua scelta resistenziale <174. Mario Lizzero ricostruisce attentamente gli anni in cui “Luisa” visse in Francia, descrivendolo come un periodo di difficoltà economiche e di intensa attività politica <175. La fonte principale usata dall’autore per raccontare il periodo trascorso da Virginia Tonelli in Francia è un volume scritto da G. Pajetta sull’emigrazione antifascista in Francia, “Douce France”, nel quale sono citati molti esponenti del PCI che entrarono in contatto con “Luisa”. Nel testo per chiarire ulteriormente il ruolo svolto da Virginia Tonelli in Francia è riportata una testimonianza di Ange Onesti, membro dello stato maggiore dei Franc Tireurs Partisans, organizzazione attiva in Francia in azioni di sabotaggio e guerriglia, che la conobbe a Tolone, il quale afferma che essa svolse attività molteplici nella regione in cui abitava: partecipava al trasporto delle armi e munizioni usate dalla Resistenza francese e inoltre partecipava all’attività politica delle donne e dirigeva l’opera di solidarietà verso i compagni incarcerati. <176
    Nella seconda parte del testo è raccontato il periodo in cui Virginia Tonelli operò nella Resistenza italiana, dal suo rientro in Italia nel maggio 1943 fino all’arresto nel settembre 1944; l’autore descrive la sua attività di staffetta fra il comando garibaldino del monte Ciaurlec, nelle Prealpi della Destra Tagliamento, e la federazione friulana del PCI e all’interno dei Gruppi di Difesa della Donna e inoltre riporta ricordi di partigiane che la conobbero, le quali testimoniano il suo impegno e le sue qualità <177. Nell’ultima parte del testo Mario Lizzero parla della Risiera di S. Sabba, luogo in cui morì “Luisa”, spiegando le motivazioni che portarono alla creazione di un campo di sterminio a Trieste e facendo una stima delle persone che vi furono uccise <178. In appendice al testo sono riportate le motivazioni che portarono alla concessione della medaglia d’oro alla memoria a Virginia Tonelli e i versi del poeta Tito Maniacco presenti sulla sua lapide <179.
    Dedicato alla figura di “Luisa” è anche un volume scritto nel 2000 da Ines Domenicali, ricercatrice dell’Istituto Friulano per la Storia del Movimento di liberazione, nel quale la storia di Virginia Tonelli, come affermato dall’autrice, è inserita nel contesto più ampio della partecipazione femminile al movimento resistenziale friulano <180; nella presentazione del testo, l’allora assessore alla cultura del comune di Pordenone, Luigi Gandi, afferma che quest’opera vuole essere un riconoscimento alle donne che con le loro azioni contribuirono alla conquista di diritti e valori che hanno fondato la Repubblica Italiana <181. Nilde Jotti, nella prefazione, oltre a parlare delle particolari difficoltà che vi furono nella Resistenza friulana, dovute all’annessione del Friuli al Reich, si sofferma sull’importanza dell’apporto delle donne nella Resistenza: inoltre afferma che la lotta di liberazione fu un movimento di popolo che unì ceti e classi prima di allora divisi, facendo in modo che uomini e donne di idee diverse si confrontassero <182. L’autrice, nel primo capitolo, racconta gli anni trascorsi da Virginia Tonelli a Castelnuovo, descrivendo la situazione sociale nel paese dopo la nascita del fascismo e lo svilupparsi del movimento antifascista e inoltre vi è un quadro più generale della situazione nella Destra Tagliamento e sono analizzati alcuni episodi di resistenza al fascismo nel pordenonese <183. Nel testo è descritto il periodo passato da Luisa in Francia, analizzando la sua attività nella Resistenza francese, e si accenna alla situazione politica in Francia dopo l’occupazione di parte del paese a opera dell’esercito tedesco <184. La parte più dettagliata del testo riguarda il periodo che va dal rientro in Italia di Virginia Tonelli, alla fine del 1942, fino al suo arresto nel settembre 1944. L’autrice descrive l’evolversi della situazione nella lotta di liberazione nella Destra Tagliamento e al contempo analizza l’opera compiuta da Virginia Tonelli nel curare i collegamenti fra i reparti partigiani e nel coordinare le donne necessarie come apporto al movimento partigiano. <185
    Nel capitolo finale del testo, l’autrice parla degli ultimi giorni della vita di “Luisa”, raccontando come fu arrestata e successivamente uccisa nel campo di sterminio della Risiera di S. Sabba; l’autrice afferma che Virginia Tonelli fu determinata nel percorrere una scelta di vita maturata da ragazza <186. In appendice sono riportati documenti riguardanti l’attività di Virginia Tonelli e un elenco di donne, della provincia di Udine e dell’odierna provincia di Pordenone, cadute durante la lotta partigiana <187.

    Se Natalia Beltrame in Italia rimane staccata dall’organizzazione, Virginia Tonelli, di Castelnuovo del Friuli, passa per l’esperienza dell’emigrazione in Francia, dove entra nell’apparato del Pcd’i e partecipa alla resistenza francese. Rientrata in Italia nel 1942 per incarico del partito, è una delle organizzatrici della Resistenza friulana, con Regina Franceschino. Arrestata nell’estate 1944 durante una missione a Trieste, scompare nel lager nazista della Risiera di San Sabba <218.

  7. I consigli di Montanelli all’ambasciatrice statunitense

    Diversi [nel 1953, cone le elezioni politiche caratterizzate dalla legge maggioritaria ribatezzata “legge truffa”] erano i problemi di cui si doveva tenere conto e che complicavano l’ipotesi di un annuncio apparentemente senza problemi. Innanzitutto era indispensabile valutare l’impatto che avrebbe avuto sui partiti laici di centro, non entusiasti di un sistema troppo concentrato nelle mani della Dc e penalizzante per gli alleati minori. C’era poi una questione tempistica. In parlamento si stava già discutendo l’abrogazione della legge elettorale, quindi l’annuncio andava fatto in tempi ragionevoli e con dati precisi alla mano. Da ultimo, come si diceva, la perplessità di De Gasperi relativa alla nuova composizione di Camera e Senato non accompagnata da una issue d’impatto sull’elettorato. Si riferiva, più di ogni altra cosa, a Trieste, come annotava la signora Luce [ambasciatrice in Italia degli Stati Uniti] in chiusura di conversazione. E la questione, nel caso in cui fosse stata risolta, avrebbe potuto davvero imprimere un corso diverso agli eventi: “Quando [De Gasperi] mi accompagnò alla porta, mi chiese se sarei andata a casa per Natale. Dissi che speravo di sì. Poi, stringendomi la mano, affermò: ‘se il vostro Paese riuscirà a dare Trieste a questo governo per Natale, noi potremo farvi il regalo di annunciare che abbiamo ricontato i voti e vinto le elezioni di giugno, per poi cominciare la controversia coi comunisti. In quel caso potremmo avere qualche possibilità di vincere le future elezioni’ ” <59. Trieste, com’è noto, non tornò italiana quell’anno. Da un lato, i tempi non erano ancora maturi e, dall’altro, prevalse il senso di responsabilità di fronte a risultati e ad un parlamento ormai funzionante e legittimato <60.
    «Le elezioni non sono andate proprio a male – commentava la Luce usando un’immagine “gastronomica” – ma certamente si sono un po’ inacidite. Non offrono presagi luminosi per la nostra linea politica sulla Nato» <61. L’ambasciatrice accusava la stampa americana di aver dato un peso eccessivo al suo intervento di Milano: i giornali avevano fornito «immagini distorte e fuori dal contesto», dimenticando che solo la destra monarchico-fascista aveva esplicitamente attaccato il suo discorso <62. La conferenza del 28 maggio alla Camera di commercio di Milano è stata spesso ritenuta emblematica dell’interventismo della Luce, poiché in quella sede minacciò gravi conseguenze per il sostegno all’Italia in caso di vittoria di una delle ali estreme <63. Una tale interpretazione della vicenda, però, suscita a qualche perplessità. Esternazioni del genere non erano una novità per la diplomazia americana: John Foster Dulles in Germania aveva espresso sostanzialmente gli stessi concetti <64. Tuttavia, quelle di Milano risultarono sgradite al Dipartimento di Stato, che aveva espressamente chiesto alla Luce di non rilasciare dichiarazioni e tenere un basso profilo <65. In più, pochi giorni prima del discorso era stata la stessa ambasciatrice a fare considerazioni analoghe sui pericoli di un’eccessiva ingerenza statunitense. Scrivendo a Ferguson, amico personale nonché influente senatore repubblicano, aveva affermato che gli elementi antiamericani in Italia stavano «ansiosamente cercando prove di interferenza o pressione americana» <66.
    In questo frangente, non è azzardato ipotizzare l’influenza di una personalità importante con cui Clare Luce aveva stretto un rapporto di amicizia privilegiato: Indro Montanelli. Poco prima della partenza per l’Italia, Mrs. Luce aveva ricevuto una lettera del giornalista toscano, suo amico di lunga data <67. Augurandole un magnifico successo, che sarebbe stato «un gran bene per i due paesi», Montanelli così si rivolgeva alla Signora: «Spero di non trovarla delusa dei miei compatrioti, del loro (apparente) cinismo, della loro (superficiale) immoralità. Comunque, li affronti con coraggio, qualche volta con insolenza, e sempre con assoluta spregiudicatezza. Gl’italiani vanno pazzi per queste virtù, forse perché non conoscono la Virtù vera» <68.
    Pare proprio che l’ambasciatrice abbia seguito alla lettera i consigli del giornalista, a cui tra l’altro chiedeva, a conferma del rapporto di fiducia tra i due, un elenco di persone da incontrare a Roma. Montanelli le consigliò alcuni «manipolatori dell’opinione pubblica [sic]» <69. Da neofita della diplomazia e da scarsa conoscitrice del nostro Paese, Mrs. Luce doveva affidarsi necessariamente a qualcuno che la introducesse ai pregi e ai difetti del popolo italiano. Montanelli fu il suo “Cicerone” prima della partenza, dato che avevano passato molto tempo insieme a New York <70. Ma continuò ad essere una figura di riferimento molto ascoltata anche in Italia, suggerendo perfino vie d’uscita
    extraparlamentari. Non fu perciò solo una concezione semplicistica e grossolana della politica e della capacità americana di influenzare l’Italia a dettare il tenore dell’intervento di Milano a una settimana dal voto. Pesarono, come spesso accade, rapporti di amicizia, situazioni contingenti e tanti dubbi. Dubbi che, da quanto risulta dalla documentazione, rimasero in Clare Boothe Luce fino alla fine, facendo conoscere aspetti finora trascurati dell’ambasciatrice come, appunto, i tormenti sulle decisioni da prendere.

  8. “Without Borders: Trieste and the Ideal of Nowhere”

    “If you want to come back feeling new—alive and full of fresh hope and in love with the world—I think the place to visit may be Nowhere”. Pico Iyer in The Art of Stillness

    Trieste – Source: placesofjuma.com

    The motto of the panethos.wordpress.com blog since its inception in 2011 has been “All cultures, All inclusive.” Even the blog’s name was developed to depict its inclusiveness, as pan and ethos mean the following:

    Pan: “Involving all of a (specified) group or region.”

    Ethos: “The distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution.” Merriam-Webster.com

    It was felt that the blog’s name and this theme were important to identify, as they reflect my strong personal beliefs against divisiveness, hatred, and bigotry. Therefore, the panethos.wordpress.com blog was designed to be a welcoming place on the internet where anyone can come and enjoy the subjects posted and maybe learn something new every now and then.

    A few days ago, I finished reading a remarkably profound book that was written by author/historian Jan Morris that was published in 2001. Its title, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, may at first make one might think the book reflects a bland place that is not particularly memorable. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following description from gemini.google.ai clearly attests:

    “The word ‘Nowhere‘ can sometimes skew negative (meaning “unimportant”). However, in the context of Trieste, it usually implies liminality—that magical “in-between” state.

    In the context of Jan Morris and her analysis of Trieste, liminality is the ‘secret sauce’ of the city.

    Trieste feels liminal because it sits on the edge of Latin, Slavic, and Germanic worlds. It is a city that feels like a ‘threshold’ rather than a destination. This creates a specific psychological freedom—because the city doesn’t have a rigid, singular identity, the people within it are free to be ‘nowhere’ and ‘no one,’ existing in a permanent state of possibility.” – gemini.google.ai

    Trieste rests upon the slender bootstrap of northeastern Italy. It is aptly and strategically positioned at the intersection of multiple nations, cultures, religions, transportation passages, and political ideologies — where Eastern Europe meets Western Europe; where NATO once faced the Iron Curtain; where freedom once met repression; where Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, and Judaism intermingle; and where the old world melds with the new.

    Trieste – Source: en.wikipedia.org

    Influenced and impacted by so many varying forces, such a city cannot behold to just one set of ideals. Trieste became a seaside cultural mosaic where locals, expats, immigrants, artists, mariners, and exiles all coalesced into an aspirational urban polyglot of its own making and beliefs. Using the term “Oasi di Pace/Oasis of Peace” Ms. Morris describes the city as a sanctuary where ossified identities and dogmas cease to exist.

    The following quote from her book about Trieste describes her feelings about the city best:

    “There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World*, or a diaspora of their own. They are the lordly ones! They come in all colors. They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists. They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humor and understanding.

    When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically. They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean. They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion, or political correctness. They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it. It is the nation of nowhere, and I have to think that its natural capital is Trieste”

    – Jan Morris, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, pages 195-196

    [*Her use of this term Fourth World should not be confused with the more recent geopolitical categorization of Fourth World countries as being those that are impoverished or failed.*]

    Instead, Ms. Morris’ concept of Fourth World consists of those places that are not specifically aligned with any single ideology, political boundary, economic policy, or belief system. They are welcoming pan-ethical” places with the admirable values of inclusiveness, kindness, and diversity.

    The nation of nowhere espoused by Jan Morris may not have a formal name nor does it have borders, whether they be physical, social, or societal. Instead, this “nation of nowhere” is simply made up of good-hearted people [everywhere] who refuse to be intellectually imprisoned by the vile concepts of nationalism, hate, racism, sexism, bigotry, and/or fear. And wouldn’t this world be so much more pleasant and peaceful if this were the case around the globe. The ideal is essentially John Lennon’s song “Imagine” put into practice.

    For Trieste to be deemed the capital of nowhere” where one can find the positive attributes associated with kindness noted throughout her book is certainly an honor of the highest degree. And, I for one, cannot wait to experience the many nuances of this truly amazing city. I hope you agree. Peace!

They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists. They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor. They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists. They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humor and understanding.

    When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically. They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean. They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion, or political correctness. They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it. It is the nation of nowhere, and I have to think that its natural capital is Trieste”

    – Jan Morris, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, pages 195-196

    [*Her use of this term Fourth World should not be confused with the more recent geopolitical categorization of Fourth World countries as being those that are impoverished or failed.*]

    Instead, Ms. Morris’ concept of Fourth World consists of those places that are not specifically aligned with any single ideology, political boundary, economic policy, or belief system. They are welcoming pan-ethical” places with the admirable values of inclusiveness, kindness, and diversity.

    The nation of nowhere espoused by Jan Morris may not have a formal name nor does it have borders, whether they be physical, social, or societal. Instead, this “nation of nowhere” is simply made up of good-hearted people [everywhere] who refuse to be intellectually imprisoned by the vile concepts of nationalism, hate, racism, sexism, bigotry, and/or fear. And wouldn’t this world be so much more pleasant and peaceful if this were the case around the globe. The ideal is essentially John Lennon’s song “Imagine” put into practice.

    For Trieste to be deemed the capital of nowhere” where one can find the positive attributes associated with kindness noted throughout her book is certainly an honor of the highest degree. And, I for one, cannot wait to experience the many nuances of this truly amazing city. I hope you agree. Peace!

  10. “Without Borders: Trieste and the Ideal of Nowhere”

    The motto of the panethos.wordpress.com blog since its inception in 2011 has been “All cultures, All inclusive.” Even the blog’s name was developed to depict its inclusiveness, as pan and ethos mean the following:

    Pan: “Involving all of a (specified) group or region.”

    Ethos: “The distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution.” Merriam-Webster.com

    It was felt that the blog’s name and this theme were important to identify, as they reflect my strong personal beliefs against divisiveness, hatred, and bigotry. Therefore, the panethos.wordpress.com blog was designed to be a welcoming place on the internet where anyone can come and enjoy the subjects posted and maybe learn something new every now and then.

    A few days ago, I finished reading a remarkably profound book that was written by author/historian Jan Morris that was published in 2001. Its title, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere, may at first make one might think the book reflects a bland place that is not particularly memorable. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the following description from gemini.google.ai clearly attests:

    “The word ‘Nowhere‘ can sometimes skew negative (meaning “unimportant”). However, in the context of Trieste, it usually implies liminality—that magical “in-between” state.

    In the context of Jan Morris and her analysis of Trieste, liminality is the ‘secret sauce’ of the city.

    Trieste feels liminal because it sits on the edge of Latin, Slavic, and Germanic worlds. It is a city that feels like a ‘threshold’ rather than a destination. This creates a specific psychological freedom—because the city doesn’t have a rigid, singular identity, the people within it are free to be ‘nowhere’ and ‘no one,’ existing in a permanent state of possibility.” – gemini.google.ai

    Trieste rests upon the slender bootstrap of northeastern Italy. It is aptly and strategically positioned at the intersection of multiple nations, cultures, religions, transportation passages, and political ideologies — where Eastern Europe meets Western Europe; where NATO once faced the Iron Curtain; where freedom once met repression; where Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam, and Judaism intermingle; and where the old world melds with the new.

    Influenced and impacted by so many varying forces, such a city cannot behold to just one set of ideals. Trieste became a seaside cultural mosaic where locals, expats, immigrants, artists, mariners, and exiles all coalesced into an aspirational urban polyglot of its own making and beliefs. Using the term “Oasi di Pace/Oasis of Peace” Ms. Morris describes the city as a sanctuary where ossified identities and dogmas cease to exist.

  13. Today a walk along the #Rilke Trail, on the cliff edge, overlooking the Bay of #Trieste 🇮🇹. It’s still very early spring here. The air is a bit hazy, yet the views of #Duino castle are always nice.
    And there’s a (freight) train on the last photo 😉. This is the Venice to Trieste and Ljubljana line.

  22. Das Café San Marco existiert in Triest seit 1914 – hier kann man sowohl Kaffe und Kuchen genießen als auch Bücher kaufen.

    Für mich gab's was Glutenfreies.

    Dass heute Österreicher hier einen Hauch k.u.k. Kaffehauskultur spüren, ist durchaus ironisch: die Intellektuellen und Künstler, die sich hier zu Monarchiezeiten trafen, waren oftmals Anhänger des italienischen Nationalismus – und wollten dezidiert weg aus der Österreichischen Monarchie. Deshalb auch der Name – ist der heiligen Markus doch Schutzpatron des großen Rivalen Österreichs an der Adria: Venedig.

    Die Einrichtung des Cafés ist tatsächlich weitgehend original erhalten. Nur der Buchhandlungsteil ist neu – früher standen dort Billardtische.

  23. Durch die Stadtgeschichte von Triest:

    Einst römische Siedlung mit Amphitheater, war Trieste im Mittelalter lange eigenständiger Teil des HRR. Als Venedig die Stadt bedrohte, unterstellte Trieste sich 1382 den Habsburgern.

    Maria Theresia und Joseph II. ließen ganze Stadtviertel neu anlegen, was den wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung ermöglichte.

    Autor James Joyce lebte 1904–1914 in Trieste als Sprachlehrer und schrieb hier seine Bücher, seine Statue ist heute Fixpunkt von Stadtführungen.

    (Die komplizierte Zeit des 1.-2. WK überspringend), war Trieste 1945 eine der wenigen Städte, die von mehreren Westalliierten besetzt wurde: wie in Berlin und Wien waren in "Zone A" britische und amerikanische Truppen unterwegs. Das "Freien Territoriums von Triest" sollte unabhängiger Staat werden – das scheiterte aber. Heute wünschen sich manche Triestiner die Unabhängigkeit.

  24. Am Canal Grande in Trieste stehen zwei große Kirchen: die katholische Chiesa di Sant'Antonio Taumaturgo und der serbisch-orthodoxe Tempio della Santissima Trinità e di San Spiridione.

    Vor der katholischen Kirche steht eine Statue des ehemaligen Erzbischofs Antonio Santin. Wieso er von der Kirche wegschaut, ist allerdings eine gute Frage.

  25. Kreuzfahrtschiffe sind in italienischen Städten ja heiß diskutiert. Hier mal ein Einblick, wie es aussieht, wenn so ein Schiff im Hafen von Triest liegt:

    Einmal von Opicina am Berg aus gesehen, und einmal aus nächster Nähe an der Stazione marittima.

    Wie klein und idyllisch wirken dagegen die Booterln, die im Canal Grande vor den Palazzos parken..
    Und auch am ersten Fotos kann man einige Größenunterschiede zwischen diversen Schiffen und Booten erkennen.

  26. Zufällig habe ich es geschafft, mit der Opicina-Straßenbahn zu fahren, während sie 2025 einige Monate lang unterwegs war.

    Aktuell ist der Betrieb wieder – wie davor seit 2016 – eingestellt.

    Der Wagen erklimmt das Karstplateau über der Hafenstadt. Im steilsten Teil der Strecke wird er von einem Beiwagen angeschoben (bzw am Weg hinunter abgebremst). Ein einzigartiges System von 1935!

  27. Im September war ich nicht nur in Slowenien, sondern auch in Triest unterwegs.

    Heute ein paar Fotos davon:
    Zuerst ein Blick vom Porto Vecchio Richtung Norden auf die Wallfahrtskirche am Monte Grisa und den Leuchtturm Faro della Vittoria.

    Dann ein Foto durch den Zaun zum Bahngelände zwischen altem Hafen und Hauptbahnhof und eines auf den Hügel dahinter, der zwischen Wolken lag.

    Am alten Hafen findet man im Magazin 26 außerdem das Museo del Mare (Meeresmuseum).

  34. Views this afternoon from #Savudrija #Salvore, the northwestern tip of #Istria 🇭🇷: ships to, and from, #Koper 🇸🇮 and #Trieste 🇮🇹 are passing in front of the #Dolomites mountain range, which is about 100 kms away. Only the autumn months provide these views.

  35. Whenever travelling to #Vienna 🇦🇹 by train from the south and in the evening, I try to catch #EuroCity #Emona from #Ljubljana 🇸🇮 and #Trieste 🇮🇹. It’s got a #Slovenian #DiningCar, one of a kind - in the eyes of the railfan. (And there’s just one of these.) My snack tonight is composed of a #Kranj sausage and a beer from #Ljubljana.
