Wide area that preludes the upcoming largo della Barriera Vecchia - 1934

Historical photo of Barriera Vecchia in Trieste in 1934: the demolition of the row of houses between via Solitario and via Arcata opens up a wide area intended for the future largo. In the center a large pile of rubble, with donkey-drawn carts and a truck engaged in the removal. Around, passersby and cyclists cross the scene, among shops with signs and facades of popular buildings with balconies. A moment that recounts the urban transformation of Trieste.
