Stumbling stones 2023

Wednesday 18 January 2023 from 9 am

Laying of fifteen new Stolpersteine ​​in Trieste

The Jewish Community of Trieste is pleased to invite all citizens to participate in the new Stolpersteine installations in Trieste.

On Wednesday 18 January 2023, thanks to the collaboration of the Municipality of Trieste, with the authorization of the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and with the participation of the Liceo Classico Linguistico Petrarca, the initiative conceived by the artist Gunter Demnig continues.

Demnig returns to carry out the installations himself, after the forced pause due to the pandemic.

As every year, the inscriptions were prepared, at the request of the individual clients, by the Jewish Community of Trieste with the help of various scholars, bodies, associations and research institutes, including the National Association of Ex Deported Persons of Trieste and the CDEC Foundation of Milan.

Starting at 9.00, in viale XX Settembre 26 at the entrance to the IC Divisione Julia, where a Stone will be installed in memory of the teacher of the former Liceo Ginnasio Petrarca, MAURA MORPURGO, fifteen new Stumbling blocks, dedicated to as many victims of Nazi-fascist persecution.

The first installation – strongly desired by Cinzia Scheriani, former principal of the Divisione Julia, and by Cesira Militello, principal of the “Liceo Petrarca” – will be attended by students from both schools, together with their classmates from Morpurgo Tedeschi, guided respectively by current principal Chiara Cacucci, by the teacher Sabrina Benussi and by the didactic coordinator Nathan Neumann.

At the end of the morning, outside the rectory of the Church of Cattinara, a Stone will be laid in memory of the young partisan DARINKA PIŠČANC , nom de guerre SLOVENKA, who had attended the Petrarca Highschool and who was barbarously killed in the infamous Villa Triste in via Bellosguardo.

At the laying of the stone in memory of SALOMONE TIANO, in viale XX Settembre 87, the choir of the students of the Carducci Dante musical high school in Trieste will participate. One of its members is Ornella Mormina Tiano, who is Salomone’s great-granddaughter.

After the break, the installations will resume, always accompanied by music, at 2.30 pm in Piazza Libertà with the laying of the stone in memory of ROMANO HELD, the first in Italy dedicated to a Roma/Sinti deportee, through a joint initiative of the Union of Italian Jewish Youth and the Union of Romanès Communities in Italy.

Below is the complete program of the day, which we ask you to consider indicative as regards the times of the intermediate stages.
