The great Irish writer, James Joyce (1882), spent a number of years, on and off between 1904 and 1915, as an English teacher in Trieste. The city was then part of Austrian-Hungaryian empire. The statue is located in the exuberant beautiful park of Giardino Tommasini. Inside there are busts of famous characters; Joyce bust bears the inscription, Trieste a James Joyce “Nel centenario della nascita”

What a surprise to bump into James Joyce wending his way across the Ponte Rosso! Trieste has a number of interesting statues and this is one of the three literary figures depicted in this way, the others being Italo Svevo and Umberto Saba. Worth meeting!
