The Bora’s strength record higher recorded dates back to the year 1954 and stands at 171 km hour. Since then Bora has lived as an obstacle but also as a stimulus to know the city, which made its main ally of this impetuous breeze: from the icy penetrating priests along the uphill streets of the old part – with the homonymous Via della Bora which has walls with metal handles where to cling – to the swollen sails of the boats on the gulf, up to the terse skies showing the alpine arc over the Adriatic coast of Friuli Venice-Julia and the neighbor Miramare Castle.
