*SPECIAL EVENT: "LA BARCOLANA"REGATTA -Sunday, 14 October 2012*

The most famous sailing regatta in the Mediterranean Sea will take place 
in the Gulf of Trieste on Sunday 14th October. "Trieste -- home of the 
Barcolana" has become the event which best expresses the character of 
the whole area, when professionals of international standing and skilled 
amateurs compete for the Autumn Cup (Coppa d'Autunno) and thousands of 
boats cover the sea. The whole of the Trieste sea-front is transformed 
into the "Villaggio Barcolana" which hosts stalls serving local and 
international food specialities, sector-based shops and themed meetings.

If you want to see this spectacular sight, there are great views from 
the Napoleonica route (bus nrs. 2 from Piazza Oberdan), Strada del 
Friuli (bus nrs. 42 or 44 from Piazza Oberdan) or just take bus nr. 36 
to Barcola. For more information check:www.barcolana.it.
