Trieste is located in northeastern Italy bordering Slovenia and is the capital and largest city of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Trieste is one of the most important Italian seaports as well as a capital of literature and music.

A combination of geographic and historical factors has made Trieste a unique city and a fascinating place to visit. It has maintained its cultural diversity because of its heterogeneous history and the different ethnic groups that live here side by side.
Trieste, the birthplace of Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba two of the most important Italian writers of the last century, has increasingly developed its international level of scientific and technological excellence with more than 30 research institutions located on its territory that carry out cutting-edge research with solid international collaborations.
