Italy: James Joyce (1882 - 1941), Irish novelist and poet, who lived in Trieste on and off between 1904 and 1920. Statue, Ponte Rosso, via Roma, Trieste

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century.

Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, perhaps most prominently stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism and his published letters.
