Via del Corso with tram and flags

This atmospheric historic photograph portrays the bustling Via del Corso (now Corso Italia) in Trieste, dominated by an electric tram moving down the center. The elegant buildings on both sides are decorated with flags displayed on balconies, suggesting a holiday or celebration in the heart of the city. The shiny pavement reflects the silhouettes of the numerous passersby crowding the street and sidewalks. A sharp image that perfectly captures the urban atmosphere and classic Triestine architecture of the early 20th century.
