Trieste by night. Living city, port and Italian gateway to the East. City defined as an “old lady asleep in the past, now alive and young.

The workshop will start after sunset and will continue as long as we feel like it. A week-end.
Squares, streets, pubs, clubs.
No rules, no filters.
At night, that place where inhibitions are loosened until they melt.
Socialize. Desire to be there, to eat and drink well and to be outdoors.

Ingredients that youth from Trieste do not lack.

Ingredients:
Good shoes.
Cheekiness to taste.
