Photographer’s Note

The Castle of Duino was erected in 1300 on the ruins of a Roman military avanpost. In the last centuries it acquired its status of cultural and humanistic centre. Nuomerous famous visitors, the most famous was R.M. Rilke, who wrote here his Elegies.

The place is beautiful, but in its background there are many factories, also a paper factory.

Il Castello di Duino, situato in una posizione magnifica, alto sulle falesie alle porte di Trieste. Purtroppo alle sue spalle si intravedono i fumi di una cartiera.
