Via Ponchielli in Trieste with the Farmacia alla Madonna Pharmacy

Historic photograph of Via Ponchielli in Trieste, at the corner with Via S. Antonio (now Via Dante). In the foreground, the sign of the Farmacia Centrale alla Madonna by Vidali and Vardabasso, with an elegant gas streetlamp on the pavement. The street is bustling with passersby in period clothing, carriages, and shops beneath the arcades. In the background, the Casa delle Bisse is visible. A precious document of daily and commercial life in Habsburg Trieste.
