Giuseppino Pier, 1897

Historical photo of the Molo Giuseppino in Trieste in 1897: the stone quay is bustling with porters and horse-drawn carts, among bales of goods and lampposts. Along the pier are moored sailing ships and small steamers, while in the roadstead numerous boats enliven the port of Trieste. In the background, the lighthouse and port structures can be distinguished, completing the panoramic view of the maritime area at the end of the nineteenth century. An image that captures the lively and commercial atmosphere of the Triestine waterfront.
