The composition documents a view of Piazza Trieste e Trento in Naples, formerly named Piazza San Ferdinando. The urban environment features cobblestone paving and the confluence of main arteries such as Via Chiaia. On the right side, the architecture of the Palazzo della Prefettura (former Foresteria Palace) dominates, housing the historic Gran Caffè Gambrinus on its ground floor. In the background, the monumental hemicycle of Piazza del Plebiscito is partially visible, featuring the imposing colonnade and the dome of the Royal Pontifical Basilica of San Francesco di Paola. The image was captured in daylight, with pedestrians animating the public space.
