The article deals with the immigration and characteristics of the Istrian community in Trieste, viewed in the light of development of the free port in the 18th century.

The immigration dynamics, geographical provenience, as well as social-demographical, occupational, economic and status characteristics of the Istrian immigrant community structure are presented, and compared to other immigrant communities. The article discusses ways of accessing the Trieste labour market and the significance of the ties between the Istrians themselves. Based on marriage patterns the tendencies towards the integration into Trieste’s social environment are also discussed.

The article reviews several measures and apparatus for the systematic prevention of infectious diseases, especially the plague, which in the eighteenth century was endangering the Northern and Eastern Adriatic for the last time. This area was politically divided between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Republic of Venice, each of which in their own way, but also concordantly, implemented sanitary control over maritime and land transport. The strong maritime trade in both states encouraged a focus on the maritime health on one hand, but also on the anti-plague control in the hinterland of coastal towns on the other. These issues are thus set in the political-economic context of the struggle for primacy over the maritime trade after the introduction of free ports.
