Trieste: Not the Italy You're Expecting
from Finding Gina Marie - Travel the World · host Judy and Kevin Hoctor
Ep.202 We ordered goulash in Italy. That's when we knew Trieste was different. 25 days in one of Europe's most overlooked cities — a place that has been claimed by empires, contested by nations, and shaped by cultures from across the Eastern Mediterranean. The result is an Italian city that doesn't quite feel like Italy. And we couldn't get enough of it. From a tradition older than Italy itself to a ghost port being brought back to life on the waterfront, Trieste kept showing us something we didn't expect.
