Market in Piazza della Legna, Trieste

This evocative historic photo captures daily life at a market in Piazza della Legna, known today as Piazza Carlo Goldoni in Trieste. In the foreground, the \"venderigole\"—typical local market sellers wearing headscarves and long striped or dark skirts—are busy at work surrounding large wicker baskets filled with fresh produce. The image offers a detailed look at the working-class attire of the period and the lively atmosphere of city commerce. In the background, elegant residential buildings and an advertising column stand out, characteristic elements of Trieste's urban fabric typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
