Rotonda Pancera

The Rotonda Pancera in Trieste is depicted in this historical photo: an elegant semicircular building with neoclassical columns, relief friezes and a statue on the balustrade. At street level, shops with display windows and signs are visible, while on the balcony and along the pavement passersby and children are lingering. The open shutters and the rusticated base enhance the architecture of the historical building. The atmosphere and the period clothing suggest an image from the early twentieth century of daily Triestine life.
