*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.
