Tradeetionally, Monrupino haes been a left-leanin municipality. In the 1950s and 1960s, it wis pairt o the so-cried "red belt" aroond Trieste: that is, o those municipalities aroond the ceety dominatit bi the Communist Pairty.^[3] In the Juin 1949, in the first municipal elections in the Free Territory o Trieste, the Communist-led Slavic-Italian Anti-Fascist Union wan 97% o the votes. The election result wis heraldit bi the Soviet press as a victory for the Communist Pairty.^[4]
