Market of Piazza Ponterosso

Historical photograph of Piazza Ponterosso in Trieste, probably from the early twentieth century, which captures the lively daily market. The period image shows five vendor women with traditional clothing and headscarves, positioned behind wooden stalls loaded with wicker baskets containing vegetables and fresh produce. In the background, elegant historical buildings with arched porticoes rise, along with the characteristic church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo, while some passersby cross the paved square. A precious testimony to the commercial and social life of Trieste in the past.
