Ruggero Rovan
Ruggero Rovan (1877 – 3 November 1965) was an Italian sculptor. Rovan created "naturalistic and often very emotional sculptures," and is considered one of the greatest 20th-century sculptors and artists from Trieste. Biography Rovan was born in Trieste in 1877, into a poor family. He studied at the ''Scuola industriale'' in Trieste. He later studied with local sculptor Vittorio Güttner. One of the oldest preserved works of Rovan is the colored plaster cast bust of ''Arturo Fittke'', signed and dated 1896 on the left shoulder.

Virgilio Giotti
Virgil Schönbeck (15 January 1885 – 21 September 1957), known by his pen name Virgilio Giotti, was an Italian poet writing both in Italian and in the Triestine dialect. Giotti's poetry "which is not so much linked to the vernacular tradition as to contemporary poetry in the Italian language, from Pascoli and the Crepuscolari to hermeticism, uses the dialect to give more intimate vibration to its lyrical motifs, now inspired by a loving or familiar, serene or painful intimacy, now by nature, by the landscape, by the minute life of his city; in forms that from the musicality of the '' canzonetta'' approach more and more, and with ever greater grace, an epigrammatic essentiality." He has been credited as one of the great Italian poets of the 20th century, and is regarded as the greatest Triestine dialect poet. Biography He was born in Trieste, at the time still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, on 15 January 1885, the son of Riccardo Schönbeck, a native of Kolín, Bohemia, ...
