Barcolana Skate up day 1

The second edition of Barcolana Skate Up got underway in Trieste this afternoon, bringing skateboarding, biking and roller skating into the heart of the city.

From 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, the sports ground of the Parish of Nostra Signora di Lourdes (via Monte Mangart 2/1) hosted an open skate and bike jam, demonstrations and workshops offering participants the chance to try new disciplines, including roller skating. Large numbers of young people filled the venue and will be back for more tomorrow in the San Giacomo neighbourhood.
