"Trieste" is a 2020 song by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Corsi. It was written by Corsi, and produced by Francesco Bianconi and Antonio Cupertino. The song, released by Sugar Music, entered radio rotation on 1 May 2020, as the third single of the album Cosa faremo da grandi?.[1]
The song tells a story set in the city of Trieste, with the bora wind as its protagonist.[2] Explaining the meaning of the track to Rolling Stone, Corsi stated:[3]
"It's the story of the wind and how, one day in Trieste, people changed their minds about it—no longer seeing it as an obstacle but rather as a force pushing them forward. [...] For this song, I imagined the wind as a singer whom Italy only noticed—since he is invisible—after appearing on a TV show. This led to newfound appreciation, but also to his elimination from the show due to a lack of image, followed by a bittersweet ending where the wind returns alone to the square, whistling and ‘ruining the silence’. That, to me, is an incredible quality: after all, who else can whistle without lips, teeth, or a tongue?"
