    Hiking

    The bronze statue of James Joyce stands in the middle of the Ponte Rosso, the small bridge over the Grand Canal in Trieste – a silent salute to the famous Irish writer, who lived in the city for over a decade and wrote some of his most important works there.

    🕰️ Background
    Erected: 2004 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Joyce's arrival in Trieste


    Artist: Nino Spagnoli, a sculptor from Ravenna

    Material: Bronze

    Pose: Joyce walks across the bridge, wearing a coat and hat, his head slightly tilted—as if he had just left a café
