Alessio Fontana comes from a family of artists: at the beginning of the 50s his mother started creating lovely light shades, in a workshop in Galleria Rossoni in Trieste. This passion has been passed on through generations, as they moved from the centre of town to Gretta, on the outskirts of town for a while,…
I’m full of joy and excitement for today’s discovery: I’m going to tell you about a Made in Trieste project signed Marco Trevisan, 27 years old! As I’m reading what seems like the 100th e-mail of the day, I find Alessandra’s message, she’s a MissClaire follower that writes: “Dear MissClaire! Congratulations for your blog, it’s…
Interesting things begin in the most unexpected ways… I met Rita quite some time ago, she’s from Rome but is now almost Triestine, with a great talent for cooking, so good that I admit that one year I had her prepare loads of delicious things for an Easter Lunch at my house, that I then…
I live in a city with 250.000 people, but it’s as if we all knew each other, we always know everything about everyone, almost before they know it themselves! For a while now there were rumours that Walter Gustin, the owner of some of the best restaurants in Trieste like the exceptional 040 Social Food…

This plateau is home to the most important local grapevines of the territory: the Terrano, a grape with…
As it often happens, when I’m impressed by something, I try to find out as much as possible about it. Last time this happened was a few days ago, as I was having lunch. I had decided to eat a salad to stay on the light side, but these good intentions went straight down the…
It started 6 years ago with an idea of Linda Simeone, and “The Photo routes” was an immediate success. It’s a collective photography exhibition, with many different displays located in different bars and restaurants of the centre of Trieste, in which almost sixty photographers show their work. The main purpose of the event is to…
The first thing you notice as you step into Am Yacht Design studio is the colour white, that prevails on everything, and then you notice all the precious yacht models and rolls and rolls of project papers. The large glass windows of the open space look down onto the roofs of the city, birthplace of…
As you know, I usually don’t talk about beauty or even shops in my posts, but this latest discovery called for a pleasant exception. I know you are always on the look out for new and particular things, just like I am, so I’d like to share this stop I made at Always, and because…
