%X The article deals with Trieste as centre of the troubled eastern Italian border. Ivan Ver  claims that Trieste¡¯s border area has been  not semiotized¡° by Italian culture: the complexity of what lays beyond being reduced to a generic Slavic East. This hypothesis is interpreted on the one hand on the background of Trieste¡¯s history in the 19th and 20th century. On the other hand it is reconsidered through the reflections of the Triestine psychoanalyst Paolo Fonda: the absence of conscious semiosis is the product of intense fears and desires that pervade the construction of ethnic identities in Trieste. Fonda¡¯s exhortation to a more balanced depressive position (Melanie Klein) recalls the pleading of other intellectuals (e.g. Ver ) for a not na f but dynamic concept of cultural dialogue.
