Prendete nota dell’appuntamento!
Venerdì 6 settembre alle ore 18, in Casa Tartini a Pirano, sarà presentato il libro Oltre Trieste. Storie di famiglie e di vita vissuta, un secolo attraverso molte frontiere di Giorgio Rosso Cicogna (LEG Edizioni, 2018).
Dalla pagina dell’editore:
Una piccola storia della Grande Storia, dal 1915 a oggi, con Trieste baricentro ricorrente. Giorgio Rosso Cicogna combina ricordi sentiti in famiglia, riguardanti le due guerre mondiali e le ripercussioni sulle vicende familiari, e di vita vissuta con riflessioni sulle vicende del mondo. Dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale l’attenzione si sposta su avvenimenti, misteri e protagonisti della Prima repubblica in Italia che l’autore ha conosciuto da vicino con rapporti di stretta collaborazione e di amicizia. Della sua carriera diplomatica sono anche richiamati eventi diversificati in Europa, negli Stati Uniti e in America Latina, Africa e Asia. Dopo la caduta del Muro di Berlino la narrazione è legata alla carriera nel settore privato nella prospettiva di un rilancio di Trieste nella nuova realtà europea.
Giorgio Rosso Cicogna, nato a Trieste nel 1945, diplomatico di carriera, con incarichi anche a Palazzo Chigi ed ai Ministeri della Ricerca e delle Partecipazioni Statali oltre a quelli alla Farnesina, tra i quali Console a Vienna ed Incaricato d’Affari in India. In una prospettiva di rilancio per Trieste dopo la caduta del Muro di Berlino, lascia il Ministero degli Esteri per il settore privato, come Direttore della locale Confindustria e poi come consulente internazionale. Riprende in seguito un’attività multilaterale come Direttore del Centro per la Scienzae la Tecnologia dell’UNIDO e Segretario Generale Vicario dell’ Iniziativa Centro-Europea INCE a Trieste, dove oggi risiede.

Ne zamudite sledečega dogodka!
V petek, 6. septembra, ob 18. uri bo v Tartinijevi hiši v Piranu potekala predstavitev knjige Oltre Trieste. Zgodbe o družinah in resničnem življenju (stoletje številnih meja), katere avtor je Giorgio Rosso Cicogna (LEG Edizioni, 2018).
S spletne strani založnika:
Zgodbica o veliki zgodovini, od leta 1915 do danes, s Trstom v središču dogajanja. Giorgio Rosso Cicogna je združil spomine različnih družin na obe vojni in njene posledice, s katerimi so se mnoge soočale, ter svoje življenje v prepletu vtisov o dogajanju v svetu. Po drugi svetovni vojni se je njegova pozornost preselila na dogodke, skrivnosti in osebnosti prve italijanske republike, ki jo je avtor spoznal od blizu, v krogu tesnih odnosov in prijateljstev. Njegova diplomatska pot izpostavlja različne dogodke v Evropi, Združenih državah Amerike ter Latinski Ameriki, Afriki in Aziji. Po padcu berlinskega zidu se pripoved navezuje na njegovo poslovno pot v zasebnem sektorju v luči ponovnega zagona Trsta v novi evropski resničnosti.
Giorgio Rosso Cicogna se je rodil v Trstu leta 1945, po poklicu je bil diplomat, ki je opravljal naloge tudi v Palači Chigi in na ministrstvih za raziskave ter državno sodelovanje, bil pa je tudi konzul na Dunaju in veleposlanik v Indiji. V želji po ponovnem zagonu Trsta po padcu berlinskega zidu je zapustil zunanje ministrstvo in se podal v zasebni sektor, kjer je najprej prevzel mesto direktorja lokalne Confindustria, nato pa mesto svetovalca za mednarodne zadeve. Kasneje je svojo pot nadaljeval z večstransko dejavnostjo kot direktor centra za znanost in tehnologijo UNIDO in generalni sekretar Srednjeevropske pobude INCE v Trstu, kjer deluje še danes.
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
