View of Piazza Barbacan

View of Piazza Barbacan in Trieste, in a historical photo taken through an arch that frames the scene. The facades with closed shutters, the overhead wires and a small corner fountain tell the character of the district. In the foreground some women stop at a stall with baskets and market goods, while a sign reads “Olio Aceto Sapone”. A fragment of daily life in the heart of the old city.
