Overview

The voices of the harbor are those of thousands of people that have worked there, and of those who still work there today. Like for all cities on the sea, Trieste's history is deeply interrelated with the history of its harbor. The human milieus of the harbor environment are at the foundation of the city, of how the community grew. To understand who we are today, and who we will be tomorrow, we need to reconstruct the memories that tell the story of the last century of the Trieste Harbor. The Harbor will always be there, and the transport of goods is still its main activity, but the ways in which the goods are transported have changed significantly, along with drastic cuts to the harbor's personnel.
