Piazza Grande during the «Liston»

Historical photo of Piazza Grande in Trieste at the beginning of the twentieth century, crowded for the traditional Liston. The square is animated by elegant passersby, while an electric tram crosses the area near the garden that arose where the Mandracchio once was. The historic buildings and the column with statue frame the panoramic view of the sea. The urban atmosphere evokes the daily life of the transforming port city.
