Duino is a castle in the heart of Adriatic, not far from Trieste. In the summer, it is wrapped in the fog of the north, while in the winter it sparkles on the edge of the sea, which brings its brightness up to there from the south. On the side where the bora wind blows, it has its warlike battlements, while its towers roam awake the horizons, where the wind blows. Founded in a central place, it embraces the romantic and does not reject the classical way, while it blends the alpine volcanic rock and the liquid element of Poseidon. And it always lingers between the West, which ages in the statues of spirits, and between the East, which blooms in the bodies of children. There, everything calmly harmonizes in the dance of the natural landscape and in the orchestra of the tragic theater. Duino is a select place, which binds all the contradictions of the world and of man in a ring.
