And if, as Boris Pahor recently affirmed, literature is one of the decisive factors in spawning cultural identity, for Trieste, literature will be the place of this new plural and cohesive identity. To ensure this, one must start from the needs (that one might not always be aware of) of the local territory: the need to learn about the stories of all its language communities, the need for a place for shared memories such as a literature museum, the need to visit places that tell the stories of one and all. The latter will be made possible thanks to guided itineraries.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
