Piazza Grande and the Government Palace in Trieste

View of Piazza Grande in Trieste, today Piazza Unita d'Italia, dominated by the Government Palace, formerly seat of the Austrian Lieutenancy, inaugurated in 1905 with its Neo-Renaissance mosaic-decorated facade. Many figures stroll across the paved square, while a man pushes a handcart and tram wires cross the sky. In the background the sea and the Karst hills can be glimpsed. An image from the early years of the twentieth century.
