Introduction
The Salterio Museum is a municipal museum in Trieste, in northeastern Italy, themed on people and technology. Through industrial machinery, scientific instruments and historical objects it tells how technology shaped the life and look of this city and its region. The building was the 19th-century Salterio gasworks: its red brick, steel trusses and surviving compressors become part of the display. As a museum in one of Europe's oldest trading ports it carries both educational and local-history value, and it is the clearest window onto Trieste's path from a Habsburg trading town to a modern city.
