WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK 25 - 28 August 2011*

*
ART & CULTURAL EXHIBITIONS*

*New Exhibition "Fashion & Colors" *inauguration on Sunday 28 August at 
15:00 on the historical *URSUS Crane in MOLO IV*. 20 artists will 
exhibit their works on the crane and at 17:30 there will be a 
photography competition on the crane. If anyone wishes to take part, 
send your application to www.mc59.com or register on the same day until 
17:00. The competition is organized by a joint initiative of La Bottega 
d'Arte "le Amebe" and the photographer Claudio Micali.

*The Ursus crane* was built in 1914 and weighs 2200 tons and is 75 
metres high. The floating platform on which the crane rests, is 54 
metres long and 24 metres wide.The rotating crane used to lift a load of 
150 tons as high as 70 metres on only one hook. It had 18 crew members 
to guarantee the functioning of this huge machine. It was the pride of 
Trieste's dockyards and of the busy commercial city of Trieste. It was 
built to lift huge engines and move them into the bellies of 
transatlantic liners, and to carry cannons on the Austrian navy 
warships. It lifted locomotives and railroad wagons and during the 
postwar period, it rescued shipwrecks that sunk in the gulfs of Trieste 
and Muggia.
Today, after years of inactivity and a recent brief renovation, it can 
be visited and often hosts art exhibitions. MOLO IV is located close to 
Piazza Duca degli Abruzzi.
