In mid-1950s, the Piazza Ponterosso in central Trieste became a favourite shopping destination for the citizens of Yugoslavia. During the 70s and 80s the myth was symbolized by blue jeans. Millions of Slavs came across the border at least once or twice a year until the war in the Balkans brought this era of Trieste’s prosperity to an end. The stories and testimonies from both sides of the border recall the economics and politics of those flourishing years.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
