Palazzo Haggi — Apt. 4 · 113 sqm · floor 2 · San Vito, Trieste

A private garden of about 56 square metres, for the exclusive use of the apartment — in the middle of Trieste's historic centre, that can be counted on one hand. Apartment 4 sits on the second floor of number 4, Via Benedetto Marcello: 113 commercial square metres in a well-resolved two-bedroom plan — entrance hall, a wide living area with kitchenette opening onto the greenery, a good-sized master bedroom with wardrobe zone, a second single bedroom and two bathrooms, one with a shower and a service bathroom. This is no token terrace but a garden you can actually live in, rare this centrally and minutes from the sea.

The building is one of the works signed by Ruggero Berlam, among the designers who shaped Umbertine Trieste. Its neo-medieval façades — projecting string courses, columns, capitals — are listed by the Soprintendenza and restored to their original colours; the historic stone entrance hall and staircase have been recovered. The project is a complete renovation with seismic upgrading and an energy overhaul. The district is San Vito, a five-minute walk from Piazza Cavana and seven from Piazza Unità d'Italia.
