A Guinness record-setting square

In 2000, the entire surface of Unità Square became a work of art, setting a Guinness record.

Following a cartoon by the artist Bruno Chersicla from Trieste, 4572 volunteers used 3 tonnes of paint to fill the square's entire 9,323 m2, creating an enormous work of graffiti art depicting Trieste as the gateway to the Orient, set against a blue background with seven gold stars reminiscent of the flag of Europe.

In 2015, in an event organized by Picknitartcafe, a Guinness blanket was created in piazza Unità d'Italia.
A collective work and a solidarity initiative: 100 meters long, 30 meters wide and 80 centimeters for 3082.70 sqm :-)

The sale of the panels that formed the blanket was used to finance studies on multiple sclerosis.
