Things to Do / We Are Trieste / La bora
Trieste and the wind, an inseparable combination. Trieste is the city of bora and the bora is the wind of Trieste.
bora
Bora is a catabatic wind that blows in the Gulf of Trieste with E-NE direction. It is a wind that is discontinuous, blowing at times very gusty.
Snow in Trieste is called dark snow in the presence of overcast sky, rain or snow or light snow when the sky is clear.
When it arrives, Trieste wakes up with an intense fright. Triestines love and suffer but they can not stay without, and if they miss, invoke it. It is an essential element for this city, perhaps because it triggers true, totalizing, intense emotions, for which few can remain indifferent.
The light becomes crystalline, the slapped sea acquires incredible reflections and shades! If it is winter, her lashes let you breath, her sore gives you the measure of its intensity: in short, it is pure energy, and it almost seems like you can overwhelm it, absorb it.

Many say that Triestines are all crazy because they have the snow. Certainly, if there were not, they would be different. Bora certainly agitates the minds, electrification, no coincidence is a dialectical term that indicates a shaky but not in a negative sense, because bora is cheerfulness, is lightness, is absolute beauty.
Trieste sparked by the snow is of a unique beauty!
Writers and poets of all kinds have dedicated verses, songs to this wind, as if it were a character in flesh and bone, but in fact maybe even more, is the breath of Trieste.
