Trieste is a city in the very east of Italy.
Hitching Out
South-East (Rijeka)
Most traffic going to Rijeka is passing a small village called Basovizza. You can take the bus #39 to get there. The bus starts at the main rail station inside the city, passing the university, then uphill. When the bus is leaving the main road, then it is the right time to get out. Go back to the road and start hitchhiking from there. It's an average place there, because it is behind a curve, but you will be seen soon enough to get away.
East (Ljubljana)
Take a tram to Opicina, which is a town almost at the border. The main village road becomes the road to the border, getting out of town there are places where vehicles can stop. Just after the border there is a gas station on the motorway, or you can stand by the old road.
South (Koper), (Pula)
Take a bus that goes to Aquilinia, for example bus #20 departing from the city centre, direction Muggia . Get off at the first stop in Aquilinia, which is more or less the first stop after passing an industrial district. Walk towards the second stop (if you aren't already there). The second stop is located right after a traffic light and a zebra crossing. In front of you you will see a blue sign which encourages drivers to slow down. A couple of hundred meters further the roads splits, one can either enter the highway or drive towards Muggia. Probably good to have a sign (KP for Koper). Average waiting time 45 minutes (Italy is not very hitchhiking friendly).
West (Venezia)
Take bus #36 from the center. It follows the road along the coast and this road (Viale Miramare) is the one leading to the highway. Get out of the bus at the stop before the last one. There's no ideal spot on this road but if you walk a bit more on this road you can find a couple of acceptable places. You will need some luck though but it's probably your best bet. You should probably ask to get dropped at a gaz station on the highway since you probably won't find a straight ride to Venice.
Blackriding
There is a lot of control but when some anonymous hitchhiker got controlled he just told the controller that he thought he would be able to buy a ticket from the driver (which is not possible) and the conductor just walked away. This is just his own experience though and maybe you won't be lucky. If you speak Italian, don't show it to the conductor!
