Safety Village

The new Safety Village was inaugurated this morning in the presence of SVBG President Mitja Gialuz, Regional Councillor for Security Pierpaolo Roberti, Trieste Mayor Roberto Dipiazza, and Prefect Giuseppe Petronzi.

“This is, in some ways, a historic moment,” stated Mitja Gialuz, President of the Società Velica di Barcola e Grignano, “as it’s the first time the Barcolana Village includes an area entirely dedicated to safety and law enforcement. The idea was born at the end of August, through strong collaboration among all parties involved. I often say that during Barcolana, the commitment of our law enforcement agencies goes far beyond their duty, and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the work they’ll be doing over the coming days.”

The stands feature all major law enforcement and public safety institutions engaged in prevention and protection: the Army, State Police, Carabinieri, Guardia di Finanza, Penitentiary Police, Coast Guard, Fire Brigade, Customs Agency, Italian Navy, Local Police, and ACI 4 Safety FVG.
For the first time, Barcolana dedicates an entire section of its village to safety culture, offering demonstrations, informational activities, and educational programmes for citizens and families. Road safety is also a major focus through the 4Safety FVG project, promoted by ACI and supported by the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, featuring driving simulators, experiential routes, and meetings with experts.
