Trieste

Trieste (Slovene: Trst) is a city and seaport in Northeastern Italy, the capital of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste Province. It is on a narrow strip of land sharing a border with Slovenia and on the Adriatic Sea. The population is 205,000.

Since the city is so close to Slovenia, there are many Slovene people there, and Slovene is a local official language here. Trieste is also home to the major shipping company Lloyd Triestino.
