Piazza Puecher in San Giacomo with the fountain, late 19th century

Historic photo of Piazza Puecher in the San Giacomo district of Trieste, between Via del Rivo and Via Erta (now Via Caprin). At the center stands the large public drinking fountain, a meeting point for residents and passers-by. People gather along its rim while townhouses overlook the sloping square. A vivid glimpse of everyday life in the late 19th century.
