This ancient church in Trieste has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the memorial day of "San SILVESTRO" is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine recognized Christianity as a religion with the Edict of Milan - known as the "Edict of Toleration" - and thus ended (at least temporarily) the period of bloody persecution of Christians.
