The Hierschel De Minerbi Palace on the Corso

The Hierschel De Minerbi Palace facing the Corso, today Corso Italia, in a photograph from the second half of the nineteenth century. Elegant shops line the ground floor, among them the Pietro Tavolato store, while the tram tracks run along the paved street. The blurred outlines of the passers-by betray the long exposure times of the period. A rare record of the lively commercial artery at the heart of the city.
