EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling Piazza Unit d'Italia, formerly known as Piazza Grande, in Trieste. Taken between 1930-1940 by the talented photographer Fernando Pasta, this image captures a mesmerizing view of the square with its iconic Fountain of the Four Continents and the majestic Palace of the Prefecture. The composition is strikingly beautiful, showcasing both architectural grandeur and lively street scenes. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent fountain at its center. Its intricate design features four sculptures representing each continent - Europe, Asia, Africa, and America - symbolizing unity among nations. Surrounding this remarkable centerpiece are elegant buildings that exude an air of authority and importance. The Palace of the Prefecture stands tall on one side of the piazza, commanding attention with its imposing structure. This administrative building adds a touch of regality to an already picturesque scene. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we notice people going about their daily lives in this vibrant city square. Men and women stroll along paved pathways while engaging in animated conversations or perhaps enjoying leisurely walks under Trieste's clear skies. Pasta's keen eye for capturing action within his frames brings life to this still image. It serves as a testament to his talent for freezing moments that would otherwise be lost forever. In conclusion, Pasta's photograph encapsulates not only a stunning view but also provides us with a glimpse into everyday life during those years gone by. It reminds us that even though times change and cities evolve over time; there will always be beauty found within historical landmarks like Piazza Unit d'Italia in Trieste.
