OUTSIDE
TRIESTE
For those interested in
going to an
"osmiza" or private farm house in the Carso, there are many open
during this weekend. The origins of the
osmiza dates back to the
Austrian times when the Austrian Emperor Joseph II gave permission to
all his
citizens to sell directly their wine and some of their own goods
(cheese, eggs,
bread, ham) for a period of eight days. The word comes from the
Slovenian
language, "osem" (eight). Check this link to find
out their timings and locations: http://www.osmize.net/

GUIDED TOURS
Discovering
the Fortress town of Palmanova
The fortress town of
Palmanova, among the more important and better preserved examples of
late
Renaissance military architecture, was built by order of the
Serenissima
Repubblica di Venezia in 1593. A better understanding of the reasons
that
induced the Venetians to erect Palma and to choose the site can be
obtained by
going back to the policy and culture of the previous century, both in
Friuli
and in Venice, and by taking into account the situation in Europe in
relation
to aspects concerning diplomacy, military technique and strategy as
well as
philosophic culture and catholic doctrine after the Council of Trent.
Tour
every Saturday until 8 September, starting at 9:30 from the Tourist
information
Office - Borgo Udine 4. The guided tour lasts approx. 2 hours and the
ticket
costs Euro 4. For more Info: Tourist Information Office in Palmanova:
