On November 4, Italy observes the Day of National Unity and the Armed Forces, commemorating the 1918 armistice that ended fighting on the Italian front in World War I and honoring those who served and fell in wars and peacekeeping missions.
While Rome hosts the national ceremony, the atmosphere in Trieste and across Friuli Venezia Giulia is solemn and reflective, shaped by the region’s wartime past and borderland identity. Marking the occasion, state museums open free of charge — including Trieste’s Miramare Castle, where visitors can wander imperial halls and seaside gardens at no cost, turning remembrance into quiet public celebration.
