The Trieste Cycle is a sequence of lyrical, time-spanning novels that explore the evolution of one place-Trieste, once known as Tergeste-from its mythic beginnings to its modern complexity. United by the eternal voice of the bora, the city's fierce northern wind, these works form a meditation on memory, identity, and the enduring human need to meet, trade, and belong. Rooted in the Venetic word terg, meaning market or gathering place, the Cycle reimagines Trieste as more than a port or a point on the map. It is the world's oldest conversation-between land and sea, myth and empire, love and exile. Across centuries, voices rise and fade: a fisherman's daughter naming her home from the wind's whisper; Roman builders measuring the coast; dreamers and seekers hearing echoes in the stone. Each life becomes a note in a greater symphony, each age a tide that returns. Part legend, part history, part meditation, The Trieste Cycle weaves together the city's transformations into a single continuous breath. It is a portrait of Trieste as an eternal market of souls-a place where strangers meet and become, for a moment, one people in the language of the wind.
