made by passionate volunteers, students, or professional guides, asking 
just few Euros as a supporting contribute.
In Trieste, the two open sites are:*Faro della Vittoria *("Victory 
Lighthouse") and *Palazzo della Regione* ("Friuli Venezia Giulia Region 
Building", also former headquarters of the Lloyd Triestino). More

*Let's save Pasticceria Pirona*
Pirona, historic Pasticceria Liberty 
(https://www.facebook.com/pasticceria.pirona/), founded in 1900 by 
Alberto Pirona, has been closed since March 2017.
But "Pirona" has not been forgotten, indeed, it is still loved, as it 
was since its foundation, by many citizens and tourists, who remember 
not only the excellent sweets, the furnishings with floral decorations, 
but also its being a favorite venue for many artists including Italo 
Svevo, Umberto Saba and James Joyce. The Irish writer even wrote some of 
the chapters of his "Ulysses". Pirona is therefore a unique place that 
"smells" of art of confectionery, coffee, literature, Triestine and 
international culture, which many have reported to us wanting to preserve.
To help protect this site so "precious", FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano 
(The National Trust of Italy - https://www.fondoambiente.it/) warmly 
invites you to report it as “Luogo del Cuore” ("Place of the heart") in 
the national census of sites not to be forgotten, in collaboration with 
Intesa Sanpaolo Bank.
