Caffè San Marco, Art Nouveau café in central Trieste, Italy.
Two rows of brass columns with floral capitals extend through the spacious hall, decorated with dark wood furnishings and intricate wall paintings.
After its destruction by Austro-Hungarian troops in World War I, the café reopened and continued its tradition of welcoming writers and intellectuals.
Writers James Joyce, Italo Svevo, and Umberto Saba frequented the establishment, making it a central meeting point for literary discussions and artistic exchanges.
Located at Via Battisti 18, the venue combines a traditional café with a bookstore, serving coffee, pastries, and literature to visitors daily.
The interior walls feature original frescoes by artist Vito Timmel, displaying natural motifs and geometric patterns typical of early 1900s decorative arts.
