These comprise The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Exiles and the short poem Giacomo Joyce – his only piece set in Trieste. His masterpiece Ulysses’ first three chapters were conceived and written in Trieste, from where he asked his friend and colleague, Italo Svevo, the favour of bringing them to him in Paris, where he moved in 1919.
The museum was made possible thanks to a generous donation from Dominic Martin. We are hoping to expand our number of sponsors. Donations of books and other materials are also welcome.
