Trieste, February 10th, 2013. – Today Free Trieste celebrated the 66th anniversary of the signing of the Italian Peace Treaty that makes Trieste independent.

Since 1947, Trieste is the capital city of the Free Territory, a State with the only international Free Port in the world.

Free Trieste held a flag-raising ceremony in Piazza della Borsa: the Movement is working hard to inform the people of Trieste about their rights, but today is to celebrate.

The people of Trieste celebrate the rediscovery of their rights, as well as the will to take their future back: a future of legality, jobs, and well-being for all.

Happy February 10th, Trieste!
