U.T.A.T was a Travel Agency in Trieste. Nowadays its name is Cividin Viaggi. Its current adress is via Imbriani 11 and, as far as I can remember, it was always at the same address.trieste1 ha scritto:Hi All

U.T.E.T. (Unione Tipografico Editrice Torinese) is a an important publishing company in Turin. There is an agency in Triest, via di Torrebianca 28.
I suggest the first one.

Once upon a time there was a little ship - stop -
which did not want to sail - stop -
now she is sailing - stop -
we'll be there soon - stop -
be ready to welcome us -stop

I don't believe Laurel and Hardy were ever at Trieste (but I can be wrong). More likely, a couple of best friends, possibly one fat and the other slim, whom signed it as a joke.
