Historical Memory and Science

In Section IX is the tomb of Domenico Rossetti de Scander (1774-1842) who, although very much involved in public life, cultivated the fine arts, literature and history and was an enlightened patron of the arts.
In Section VIII is the tomb of Carlo de Marchesetti (1850-1926), director of the Trieste Natural History Museum and an enthusiastic scholar of the castellieri (fortified settlements) of Trieste.
Section VI houses the remains of neuropsychiatrist Guglielmo de Pastrovich (1876-1927), director of the Trieste Psychiatric Hospital.
The funerary monument of Pietro Kandler (1804-1872), who devoted himself to the study of the history of Istria and the main towns in the area, is located next to the old chapel in the rotunda of Section V, where Attilio Hortis (1850-1926), who served as a town councillor and a member of the Vienna Parliament, rests. In 1919, he was appointed Senator of the Kingdom, of which he later became Vice-President. The remains of the so-called Carlists, men and women who followed the legitimate dynasty of Spain, rest in Section III. They arrived in Trieste in 1848, after the failure of Charles V's venture to assume the title of King of Spain in place of Isabel II of Bourbon.
Francesco Hermet (1811-1883), also buried in Section III, founded the Società de Triestini, whose programme was anti-Germanic and autonomist.
He was also among the founders of the Società filarmonico-drammatico.
Section IV houses the tomb of Josef Ressel (1793-1857) who, in 1829, succeeded in realising his project to use a propeller to propel boats on the steamship Civetta in Trieste.
In 1828, the first botanical garden was founded in Trieste by the esteemed pharmacist Bartolomeo Biasoletto (1793-1858), who is also buried in Section IV.
Also buried here are Giuseppe Caprin (1843-1904), journalist, printer and publisher who supported an Italian Trieste, and Carlo Ucekar (1854-1902), man and politician, loved and respected by everyone, who, from a young age, was close to the socialist movement and who, in order to unite the working class, in 1897 grouped the mutual aid societies into the Workers' Confederation.
Section XIV houses the tomb of the Eagle of Trieste, Goffredo de Banfield (1890-1986), the most victorious pilot of the Austrian navy during World War I, who was awarded the Military Order of Maria Theresa. In the same Section is the grave of Mayor Gianni Bartoli (1900-1973), nicknamed Gianni lagrima for the ease with which he was moved. Elected as a Christian Democrat, he faced the fate of a city suspended between Italy and Yugoslavia. In Section XV stands the tomb of the Wulz photographers, whose last heirs were sisters Wanda (1903-1984) and Marion (1905-1993). In Section XXXIII lie the remains of the scientist Margherita Hack (1922-2013), who was a full professor at the University of Trieste and director of the Trieste Astronomical Observatory.
