Naples, ITALY - Piazza Trieste e Trento

Description: Naples, ITALY - Piazza Trieste e Trento - Trollies: Piazza Trieste e Trento (formerly Piazza San Ferdinando) is located in the historic center of Naples. Road junction of great importance, here converge via Toledo, via Chiaia and via San Carlo; it is also the main access point to the nearby, and much more famous, Piazza del Plebiscito. Piazza Trieste e Trento assumed its current name in 1919 in celebration of the Italian victory in the First World War, while the current structure is affected by the urban transformations implemented until the end of the nineteenth century. Irregular in shape, on its edges there are the Teatro San Carlo, the Royal Palace, the Palace of Cardinal Zapata, the Palazzo D'Alessandro di Pescolanciano and the seventeenth-century church of San Ferdinando, incorporated in the same lot of the Galleria Umberto I. At the center of the square is the Fountain of the Artichoke, commissioned by Achille Lauro in the fifties of the twentieth century. On the west side, on the ground floor of the Palazzo delle Prefettura, there is the famous Caffè Gambrinus, where the decoration created by some important artists active between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is still preserved; the café boasts illustrious patrons such as Gabriele D'Annunzio and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. In the palace of Cardinal Zapata (n. 48) there is the Museum "Giuseppe Caravita Prince of Sirignano", dedicated to Neapolitan artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Until 1843 stood where today there is a large space between the theater and the royal palace the Viceregal palace, also called Palazzo Vecchio, built in 1540 on a project by Ferdinando Manlio and Giovanni Benincasa at the behest of the viceroy Don Pedro of Toledo. The service on August 28, 1876 was inaugurated the tramway Naples-Portici-Torre del Greco managed by the Société Anonyme de Tramways Napolitans (SATN), which had taken over as the initial route the omnibus concession entrusted by the City of Naples in 1875 to Ladislao Paridant. This service was structured in an atypical way, with the races that had their terminus right in the square from San Ferdinando to the border called "dei Granili", in via Reggia di Portici, carried out with normal omnibus cars whose wheels were replaced to continue in tramway mode up to Portici.
