Statue of Nazario Sauro in Trieste

Trieste and Trieste Karst Monuments and historic buildings
Statua di Nazario Sauro a Trieste

In front of Trieste’s Maritime Station stands a statue erected in 1966 depicting Nazario Sauro, an Istrian irredentist executed by the Austro-Hungarian authorities in 1916 for high treason.

The bronze work was created by the Trieste sculptor Tristano Alberti for the fiftieth anniversary of Sauro’s death. Sauro was awarded the Gold Medal for Military Valour in memory.
