Positive feedback regarding these initiatives will pave the way for future projects that include a new Literature Museum of Trieste, envisaged as a hub of knowledge, research and creativity. Further initiatives regard a series of new cultural itineraries with dedicated information boards, leaflets, apps and a website providing information on a literary itinerary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
