🗺️ Symbolism & History
Origin: Created between 1751 and 1754 by the sculptor Giovanni Battista Mazzoleni to celebrate Trieste's rise to a free-trading city under Maria Theresa.
Name: The "Four Continents" – Europe, Asia, Africa, and America – symbolize the global reach of trade that Trieste conducted as a port city. Australia was not yet known as a continent at the time.
