Miramare Castle and Gardens, Wednesday 11th September, 15:40 - 19:00 pm Go to map
A guided tour of the Miramare Castle and its Gardens, the noble and romantic place straddling art, nature and beauty, will take place in the afternoon of Wednesday September 11th departing directly from the conference venue (included in all fees and for accompanying persons).
The Miramare Castle looks the Gulf of Trieste, running out into the sea on top of a cliff. With its eclectic style and Istrian white stone, it is unmistakable no matter how you. The Museo Storico e il Parco del Castello di Miramare is a state museum of the Italian Ministry of Culture that has enjoyed special autonomy since 2016. It was built between 1856 and 1860 at the behest of Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg, Emperor of Mexico, who chose it as a private residence for himself and his wife, Princess Charlotte of Belgium (or Charlotte of Saxony Coburg-Gotha, Princess of Belgium).
The building, boldly jutting out into the sea, boasts an enchanting panoramic position; the richness of Mediterranean scents and colours, the dazzling architecture, combine in a perfect synthesis of art and nature. The Park covers an area of 22 hectares and takes on the traits of the English landscape garden and the orderly and symmetrical traits of the formal garden, with the geometric organisation of the parterre area, an expression of the passions and culture of its creator-designer. After Maximilian’s tragic death in 1867 in Mexico and Charlotte’s departure for Belgium, Miramare became a destination for short stays by the Habsburgs. With the end of World War I, the complex came under the direct control of the Italian government, opening to the public in 1929. From 1932 Miramare became the home of Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta, who lived there for 7 years, adapting the apartments to the style of the time. Today, Miramare aims to be a highly dynamic place that can relate its identity to the contemporary world, to the cultural landscape, and to the rich cosmopolitan and cross-border heritage of the area in which it stands.

The social dinner will take place on Thursday 12 September at the Yacht Club Adriaco, one of the most beautiful and exclusive locations in Trieste.
In the early months of 1903, a group of yachtsmen from the “Società delle Regate”, driven by the desire to encourage seafaring life and the sport of sailing, decided to set up a sailing club called Yacht Club Adriaco. On 25 June 1905, the first Headquarters was inaugurated: it was a "pielego" (a suitably modified work boat) that was moored at the root of the Molo Sartorio. In Janaury 1912, the second Headquarters was inaugurated, also moored near the Molo Sartorio. In 1923, the State Property Agency rented the "little red house". On 4 November 1925, the third Headquarters of the Club was inaugurated. It consisted of a large main room that once housed the Health Department of the Port of Trieste during the time of Maria Theresa; to this historic building (called the "little red house") in 1924, a rectangular-shaped body was added, whihc housed the kitchen, the warehouse, the secretary's office, the bar the caretaker's room and the changing rooms. (Included in all fees and for accompanying persons).
