The Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory of Trieste (Italian: Conservatorio statale di musica "Giuseppe Tartini" di Trieste) is an institution of higher music education located in the Italian city of Trieste. It was founded in 1903 by conductor Filippo Manara as a music lyceum, since 1954 it has been under state subordination (currently under the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research) and is located in the Palazzo Rittmeyer (Italian: Palazzo Rittmeyer), a building of the first half of the XIX century, rebuilt in 1863 by architect Giuseppe Baldini (1808-1877). Since its foundation, it has been named after Giuseppe Tartini, who was born near Trieste.
Trieste is a city in the northeast of Italy, located on the Adriatic Sea coast near the border with Slovenia. It is the capital of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region and a major seaport. Trieste by its atmosphere and architecture is quite different from most Italian cities. And it is not surprising, as this city became part of Italy only in the second half of the 20th century, and before that, it belonged to Austria for more than five centuries.
The city is nestled along the perimeter of the Gulf of Trieste in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula, 120 km from Venice. The territory of Trieste is mostly quite hilly. From the top of the city's hills, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea. The climate of the city is Mediterranean. Summers are usually dry and quite hot, while winters are mild, foggy and windy
