Demolition works between Corso Italia and Piazza della Repubblica in Trieste

This striking historical photo captures the massive demolition site in the heart of Trieste, between Corso Italia and Piazza della Repubblica (formerly Piazza Nuova), clearing the way for the future RAS building. On the left, the UPIM department store building is visible under construction, surrounded by scaffolding. In the background, San Giusto Castle overlooks the urban landscape undergoing radical transformation during the 1930s. Workers and horse-drawn carts can be seen clearing the rubble from the site.
