View of the Nazario Sauro Promenade and its Reflections in Bari at Dawn
The Nazario Sauro Promenade in Bari extends along the Adriatic coast and constitutes an urban infrastructure that defines the city's waterfront. Its construction is part of the urban development plan initiated during the Fascist era, with the aim of connecting the old town with the port area and giving the city a monumental and modern appearance. The captured section, seen from Largo Giannella, shows the sequence of buildings facing the sea, characterized by Rationalist architecture and uniform height. The distinctive vertical element is the illuminated tower of the Palazzo della Provincia (Provincial Palace), built between 1930 and 1934, which symbolizes institutional authority on the shoreline. The wide expanse of water reflects the artificial lights, creating a reflection effect that highlights the beginning of the day and the relationship between the marine environment and the urban development of the Apulian capital.
