The Sant'Andrea promenade in Trieste with its tree-lined avenue

Hand-coloured postcard from the early twentieth century depicting the Sant'Andrea promenade in Trieste, a broad tree-lined avenue near the city's industrial and port district. On the left stands a villa with a small tower enclosed by a wall, while long rows of trees line the unpaved road. A cyclist rides along the avenue on a quiet day. The image conveys the atmosphere of the Trieste suburbs at the dawn of the twentieth century.
