The project involves the redesigning of the external spaces between the between the Hydrodynamic Power Plant and the Electric Substation in the Trieste Old Harbor to complete a new identity for the museum area, characterizing it with a clear vocation of public space and openness to the city.

This area will become a walk dedicated to the Port Museum of Trieste Old Harbor, by the creation of an installation composed of bollards and a metal ring with an external diameter of approx. 3.50 m will find an adequate position in the ground with an inlay of letters that make up a sort of memory path, through the re-proposition of embarkation calls and the main routes influenced by commercial traffic in the Old Port of the city of Trieste.
