The Trieste of Magris

From 08 Mar 2011 to 16 Aug 2011

9 March-17 July. This exhibition examines the Italian border city of Trieste according to the works of Italian writer Claudio Magris.

Synonymous with some of the world's foremost writers and intellectuals, such as Italo Svevo, Umberto Saba, Rainer Maria Rilke, Scipio Slataper and James Joyce, Trieste has had a profound effect on Magris too and features prominently in his writings.

In addition to original pieces of art and the backdrop of Magris literature being read aloud, the show includes audiovisual installations allowing visitors to feel the stones of the karst plateau, listen to the waves of the Adriatic Sea and Triestine songs, and feel the bora - Trieste
