\"\"<\/a>\u201cIn Trieste, where sorrows abound amidst the beauty of sky and land, there is a slope called Via del Monte. It begins with a synagogue,\u201d wrote the poet Umberto Saba in his youth, between 1910 and 1912. Years later, not far from “his” Via del Monte, the poet would take over the historic Libreria Antica e Moderna (Ancient and modern bookstore) from Giuseppe Mayl\u00e4nder. This \u201cdark den\u201d, as Saba called it, would become his haven until his death in 1957.
\nBy the end of this year, the bookstore, now known as Libreria Antiquaria Umberto Saba\u00a0and owned by the Jewish Community of Trieste, will reopen to the public after a meticulous restoration. The restoration, funded by public and private sponsors, aimed to respect the building\u2019s historical significance. \u201cIt was an extensive effort, carefully adhering to all regulations and requirements tied to this landmark,\u201d explained to Pagine Ebraiche Alessandro Salonichio, president of the Jewish Community. \u201cSpecialized teams restored the original condition, cleaning and organizing the walls, replacing the parquet, and upgrading safety, electrical, plumbing, and air conditioning systems. Numerous volunteers assisted in clearing, cleaning, and repositioning books and furnishings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA joyful moment\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The antiquarian bookstore houses approximately 30,000 volumes and various artifacts from a bygone era. \u201cIt\u2019s a fascinating space that must be preserved,\u201d emphasized Salonichio, who on October 28 returned the keys to the family of Mario Cerne, the bookstore\u2019s long-time manager who passed away in January. While the Cerne family plans to transfer management, \u201cthe Community, as a third party, will closely oversee the process to ensure continuity,\u201d said Salonichio.
\nThe key-handover ceremony gathered local officials and citizens alike. \u201cIt was a joyful and meaningful moment, as well as a renewed acknowledgment of the Community\u2019s pivotal role in the area,\u201d said Salonichio. \u201cWe have ve seen this connection not only in this endeavor but also in broader initiatives. During the commemoration of the first anniversary of October 7 pogrom, hundreds of people stood with us\u2014alongside the mayor and local officials\u2014in a show of empathy and solidarity that has been deeply comforting.\u201d
\nLooking ahead, new projects are underway, including a virtual reality initiative centered on the ancient Jewish cemetery on Via del Monte, situated just next the Community offices and school. Saba also wrote about this cemetery in a poem, describing it as \u201cso dear to my thoughts, as I imagine my elders, after much hardship and trading, buried there, all alike in spirit and face.\u201d<\/p>\n
