S. Giovanni, around 1910

This historic postcard offers a striking panoramic view of the San Giovanni district in Trieste around 1910. The image is dominated by the majestic stone viaduct of the Transalpina railway, crossed by a steam train, symbolizing the infrastructure of the Austro-Hungarian era. In the foreground, the landscape remains partially rural with scattered houses and vegetable gardens, contrasting with the rugged Karst hills in the background.
