Overview

  • Step into the polyglot streets of early 20th-century Trieste, a city perched on the edge of an empire, where three vastly different writers collided to change the course of modern literature. Join our expert Sara and local explorer Alex on this immersive redthread tour as they trace the intertwined lives of James Joyce, Italo Svevo, and Umberto Saba. From intimate antiquarian bookshops to grand Habsburg-era cafés, discover how a failed businessman, a depressed poet, and a penniless Irish exile found their voices in the 'Vienna by the Sea'.
