James Joyce statue

It was interesting seeing the statue of James Joyce in Trieste. I even took photos with "him". :)

James Joyce - the amazing Irish writer - called Trieste home for many years in the early 20th century

A statue celebrating his connection with the city overlooks the main canal

Just perusing the Google pages of the area, I fully can see why Joyce found the city a place to call "home"

Is one of the statues dedicated to famous people that lived in Trieste and this one is of the incredible irish writer James Joyce! Really amazing u can take a selfie with him!

When I'm in Trieste and I go over the Ponte Rosso, I often stop by the statue of Jamsa Joyce. Near here, my relatives often shopped in the 1970s and 1980s. Nice memories of Trieste.

Nice quiet place with a sunny terrace and good coffee in the city center, close to the James Joyce statue

Walking over the Ponte Rosso bridge over the Canal Grande we encounter an interesting statue. This beautiful statue is devoted to James Joyce (a famous Irish writer), made by sculptor from Trieste Nino Spagnoli. The statue was placed on the bridge in 2004 to remember the centenary of Joyce's arrival in Trieste. James Joyce in Trieste is coming to work like an English teacher at the Berlitz School. James Joyce along with girlfriend Nora Barnacle ( He married her in 1931), reaches Trieste and finds that the place in the scool is not free. They ( the institute for the foreign languages ) send him to Pula on the south of the Istrian peninsula to teach english language, where he lives in bad conditions days and finally returns to Trieste in 1905. Returning to Trieste in the Berlitz school, begins one of the most fruitful periods for his literary production. During his stay in the city, Joyce completes the collection of short stories "Dubliners", publishes a second draft of the collection of poems "Chamber Music", and starts, in addition to the "Exiles" drama, the work that will give international fame:" Ulysses".
