The story
Trieste 1948 is a collection of testimonies that investigate the effects of the Informbiro on the Communist Party in Trieste. Stalin's Informbiro was the body that officially approved the expulsion of the Yugoslav Communist Party and thus its split from other communist workers' parties in Europe. In the background, the city of Trieste is still under Anglo-American military administration. In the collection of testimonies, Giraldi recreates the dramatic events of 1948 and emphasizes from the beginning that he only wanted to encourage historical reflection on these facts with his work.
