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
