The Trieste Cemetery was a bit of a mystery for us since there was not really anything substantial to find out about it on the internet. But since Trieste is reasonable big and there is no bad cemetery in Italy as long as the city to where it belongs has more than 50.000 people it should be ok to visit it.
To cut it short: It is an excellent Cemetery. The only thing that really annoyed us is that one of the huge arcades was sealed off because of safety reasons. And that brings me to the atmosphere of the Cemetery. Especially the old sections has an air of derelict about it and visiting it in autumn makes it even more forlorn.
There are several smaller cemeteries in the area, with separate entrances but only the greek-orthodox was worth visiting. The jewish was closed.
The following are from the greek-orthodox section:
