EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Trieste. The focal point of the image is the majestic Canal Grande, its calm waters reflecting the surrounding architectural marvels. Standing tall and proud in the background is the Church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo, also known as the church of St. Anthony Healer. The photograph was taken between 1890 and 1920, capturing a moment frozen in history. It showcases not only the beauty of Trieste's urban landscape but also provides glimpses into daily life during that era. A street lamp illuminates the scene, casting a warm glow on this bustling civic space. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryears, we notice various elements that add charm to this composition. Furniture and furnishings line both sides of the canal, inviting passersby to take a momentary pause amidst their busy lives. Small boats peacefully float along these tranquil waters while fishermen diligently ply their trade with baskets full of instruments for fishing. Transportation plays a significant role in this photograph as well - be it through water or land routes. The canal itself serves as an important naval and river pathway for goods transportation within Trieste's vibrant trading network. Beyond its physical attributes, this image captures something more profound - an essence deeply rooted in faith and spirituality. The presence of Sant'Antonio Nuovo reminds us that religion played an integral part in shaping Trieste's cultural fabric. Fernando Pasta skillfully immortalizes all these intricate details through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand how life unfolded over a century ago in one corner of Italy's Adriatic coast – a view worth cherishing for generations to come.
