Here are but a few: Via S. Nicolò has several residential buildings which hosted the author, as well as the headquarters of the Berlitz School in which he taught for many years; e fu sede della Caffè Stella Polare was most likely the scene of the famous incident in which, overcome with rage brought on by jealousy, he confronted the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, Il Piccolo, Roberto Prezioso, reducing him to tears in the wake of the latter’s courtship of Nora Barnacle.
His passion for the lyrical form and financial struggles brought him to be a gallery assistant during performances at the Teatro lirico Verdi. Lastly, we should mention the Central Station, very much a Joycian location inasmuch as it served him throughout the many arrivals and departures from the city, not only his own but also those of his brother and sisters.
