Kommandant Mark · August 9th, 2004, 12:51 AM

Triest is a city in Slovenia

Or at least, should be.

Italy can also argue that the Julian Alps, Istria and the Dalmatian Coast should also be part of Italy. Not to mention Haute Savoy, Nice and Corsica

I voted for Trieste coz Greece has the Olympics, Spain had the Olympics in 1992 and also cos Trieste is a EU city with easy access and is the port for Slovenia and Austria

Winter Olympics (excluded)

Italo-Australian · August 9th, 2004, 05:57 AM

Trieste sure has the better website

therock · August 9th, 2004, 12:04 PM

Trieste (Italy)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GoodGuy · August 9th, 2004, 12:08 PM

My opinion is that the Greeks have the most complete concept.... Very nice

GO GREECE!!!

Aquarius · August 9th, 2004, 12:30 PM

These are the topics of the exhibitions, is a expo international, no universal
Election: in december

Thessaloniki:Terra Mater : Knowledge of the Earth, Agriculture and Nutrition
Trieste: mobility of knowledge
Zaragoza: Water and the Sustainable Development of cities

high_flyer · August 10th, 2004, 01:45 AM

Are they still doing the silly Expo, what a waste of time and money, no one vists them, the last one was a major flop!!!

August 11th, 2004, 08:34 PM

Someone is voting here for Trieste too many times. This is what is going to happen in reality. Italians will try to bribe.

There is definetely one thing in common that all three cities are nice but not important as their capitals. Whoever gets it gets an economic boost or a big loss. Athens, Rome, Madrid can attract more visitors and investments without silly expos.

Aquarius · August 11th, 2004, 09:03 PM

Exposition universal, Sevilla 1992:41 814 571 visitors

Nikodem · August 11th, 2004, 10:35 PM

None of them. Expo should be now organized by some of "New european" country - they deserved it!

August 12th, 2004, 07:48 PM

If Sevilla hosted an expo some years ago then there is no chance for Spain again. Unless you have real close friends to the committee. If anything like this happen we will go to the European court.

Aquarius · August 12th, 2004, 08:25 PM

And Genova hosted an expo in 1992 also

sts · August 13th, 2004, 10:28 AM

My city:Trieste!!!!!TRIESTE IS TOTALLY ITALIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gun57 · August 13th, 2004, 01:40 PM

Actually, Slovenia has its own major port of Koper (Capodistria) that competes with Trieste for the Austrian market.

If you live in Trieste, you should realize that the city and -- to a greater extent -- its suburbs have a significant and historic Slovenian population. Therefore, the city is most definitely not "totaly Italian", just as many coastal Slovenian towns such as Izola (Isola) and Piran (Pirano) aren't "totally Slovenian" -- they have a significant and historic Italian minority.
