Storyline
In Trieste there’s a very popular beach that’s loved by its citizens, Bagno Lanterna, which was opened sometime between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century along the pier of Santa Teresa, right in the city centre. To everyone, however, the beach is simply known as ‘El Pedocìn’, which means ‘little mussel’ or perhaps ‘louse’ in the local dialect of Trieste. When it was built, the beach was immediately divided in two by a central fence three metres tall (which was later turned into a wall), to avoid ‘indecent acts’. On one side were the women, and on the other, the men. To this day the wall is still there. It actually protects the freedom of both sexes, in a city at a crossroads that has always mirrored European tensions and blended different ethnicities together, dramatically at times
