Trieste - once the imperial residence city and the most important port on the Mediterranean, today a vibrant city of cultures and a master of constant reinvention. A city walk off the beaten tourist paths reveals hidden beauties - of a cultural and especially culinary nature. Wolfgang Salomon, an intimate connoisseur of the "City of the Three Winds," takes us into the microcosm of Barcola to discover the slowness of being. During a delightful stroll through the pastry shops and buffets, he ignites a passion for the diversity of Triestine cuisine and introduces us to the Triestine coffee house culture that has already attracted literary figures like Italo Svevo, Umberto Saba, and James Joyce. He extracts secrets from prosciutto producers and winemakers in the Karst region and collaborates with the Starec brothers to cultivate native "liquid gold" on the slopes of San Dorligo della Valle.
