Trieste.
Trieste is an early twentieth-century art book by Giulio Caprin, published in Bergamo around 1900 by the Istituto italiano d'arti grafiche, presenting the city's art and architecture to an Italian audience. Its halftone plates show a vine-covered courtyard with a stone tower, a church interior with pews and a baroque altar, a painted wall of standing saints beside a patterned border, and a fortified seaside wall with a flagged tower. A designer might draw on the strong tonal contrast, the ivy-textured masonry, and the formal symmetry of the church nave.
