Piazza Unità d’Italia, Trieste, Italia
This beautiful used postcard sent by a friend features a photograph of the Piazza Unità d’Italia, Unity of Italy Square in English, found in the main square in Trieste, Italy. The card was printed by www.tipografia.com and has the identifier Art.002.PI TS on the reverse center line.
Trieste is a port city on the Adriatic Sea. Unity of Italy Square is thought to be Europe’s largest square located next to the sea. Prior to 1919 the square was called Piazza Grande or the Great Square. Occasionally concerts are held in the square with crowds between 12,000 and 15,000 people in attendance. The square has also been used for visits from foreign heads of state, such as in 2017 with Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, and Paolo Gentiloni. Vladimir Putin met with the Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta for bilateral talks in 2013. The 4th Western Balkans Summit was held here.
The way the light is shining on the building gives it a gilt appearance. Sometimes we get that illusion here when the setting sun hits the windows on the houses across the lake and they look bright gold. An interesting and beautiful effect.
As always my thanks to the friend who shared the card.
