Via Malcanton Demolition in Trieste Old Town

This historic photograph documents the radical urban transformations in the heart of Trieste's Old Town, showing the gutted area of Via Malcanton. The image offers a panoramic view of the open space created by the demolitions, with fences and rubble in the foreground, while the buildings of Via di Rena and Via Riborgo stand in the background. To the right, structures adjacent to the Santa Maria Maggiore church are visible. Several pedestrians cross the cleared ground, witnessing daily life continuing during the renovation of the medieval and Jewish district.
