MY PERSONAL ASPECTS ON TRIESTE
There are many aspects on Trieste but my two favourite ones are the port in general and the weather. With the port many trade agencies and many merchants used this port. The port became important when the Suez canal opened because the ships could finally cut through Africa and Arabia to get straight through Greece or Italy. This port became also important because Emperor Asbury (an Austrian emperor) because he choose it as his favourite port and so an important one. With this Trieste became as important as Rome, much more important than what it's now. This port attracts me a lot thinking how old it is and how many important people and ships passed through it. It also attracts me because it's incredible how much a port or anything else may become really important just because an emperor choose so. Also weather in my opinion is interesting (but not as much as the port).Weather in Trieste is constantly changing. One week freezing cold with a lot of wind, one week with constant full sun with no clouds and no wind and one week with just lots of “Bora” and fog. “Bora” is a north-eastern wind that is the only cause of broken umbrellas in Trieste. The warmest summer in Trieste was in the 2003 and the coldest winter was in the 2005.
