The concert will musically retrace some stages of the Italian 20th century with pieces composed in years that were particularly significant for the history of the University of Trieste. The event, like many other initiatives organised in the context of the Centenary celebrations, aims to bring the University to the city to involve the citizens of Trieste and tourists in a convivial and musical moment that recounts the past, present and future of UniTS. In the event of bad weather, the concert will be held at the Giuseppe Verdi Opera House.
