Trieste and the Bora

Historical postcard depicting the Bora at Ponte Verde in Trieste. The impetuous wind shakes the port: high waves, sailing ships and steamships at anchor, while passers-by struggle to stay on their feet and the laundry flies away. In the background, the quays of the Porto di Trieste and the silhouettes of the ships are distinguishable, in a lively urban view. An image from the era that tells the daily life of the city when the Bora blows.
