Trieste, a free screensaver


In anticipation of the upcoming podcast about the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, we thought to share some pictures of its capital, Trieste. We're particularly attached to Trieste as it's where my wife and I grew up. Located just a couple of hours far from Venice, Trieste is a beautiful city that thrives particularly in the summer, with music, theater, food festivals, sailing regattas and other frequent outdoor happenings.
A couple of years ago, we created a photo CD-ROM about Trieste. We are sharing some of these pictures with you as a screensaver. As usual, it's FREE (yes, no cost, no viruses, no adware, no spyware, just pure enjoyment). Please let us know what you think.

I Trulli di Alberobello, a free screensaver


Last summer, my wife and I visited Alberobello, a beautiful town in the Apulia region known for its Trulli dwellings. Rather than staying at a hotel, we rented a trullo for a week through the agency Trulli Holiday. We had a great time, and took a lot of pictures.
We decided to create a screensaver and share it with you all.
It's FREE (yes, no cost, no viruses, no adware, no spyware, just pure enjoyment). Please let us know what you think.
