Bramante's Perspective in Milan. The Italian Renaissance left an artistic legacy that still fascinates and inspires today. One of the most extraordinary examples of this era is Donato Bramante's Perspective in Milan, an architectural masterpiece that testifies to the brilliance and innovation of this golden age. In the late 15th century, Milan lived under the rule of the Sforza family, one of the most powerful Italian dynasties. The Sforza court was an important cultural and artistic center, attracting some of the best talents of the time, including Donato Bramante. Bramante, famous for his influence on Renaissance architecture, left an indelible mark on the history of art, and his Perspective in Milan is an eloquent example of his brilliance. Bramante's project in Milan includes the Church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro, a small but extraordinary church located in the heart of the city. The peculiarity of this church lies in its illusionistic perspective, designed to solve a remarkable architectural problem. Bramante's main challenge was the lack of space to build a complete nave. The Renaissance genius' solution was to create a deep false choir, seemingly as long and spacious as a complete nave. This perspective trick involved creating a wall painted in such a way as to appear to be a large extension of the church. The deception is so well achieved that spectators, entering the church, are fooled by the illusion of a space much larger than what actually exists. Bramante's perspective opened up new creative avenues in architecture, demonstrating that art could overcome physical limitations and create fantastic worlds. Today, Bramante's perspective in Milan is a tourist attraction that continues to amaze visitors. His ability to manipulate space and create illusions is a tangible demonstration of the power of human ingenuity. The church of Santa Maria presso San Satiro has become a symbol of how art can challenge convention and push the boundaries of the imagination.
Bramante’s Perspective in Milan is a stunning example of how art and architecture can work together to overcome practical challenges and create works of timeless beauty. Donato Bramante’s genius has left an indelible mark on the history of art, and his Perspective in Milan remains a testament to the boundless creativity of the Renaissance era. In a modern Milan, this church continues to inspire and enchant, conveying the timeless message that art can truly change our perception of the world.

Here is where the church is located:
One of the main obstacles to the creation of a monumental structure was the lack of space for the choir, since the space behind the transept was occupied by the Contrada del Falcone. The problem was brilliantly solved by Bramante through the creation of reliefs and moldings in terracotta that were subsequently painted to form a perspective escape that simulated in 97 centimeters of depth a space equal to the arms of the 9.7 meter transept inspired by the previous studies of the Prevedari Engraving, becoming the strong point of the building.

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

The rose window of the Gothic church of San Jaume in Barcelona. It is certainly not the church that you remember visiting in Barcelona (for that there is the Sagrada Familia and the cathedral) but I also love photographing the details (in addition of course to the famous and touristy things that the site is full of). This is the beautiful rose window of a small Gothic church near the Rambla. And the inscription: “Rosa d’abril, Morena de la serra” which celebrates the Virgin of Montserrat, a dark-skinned Madonna, protector of Catalonia.

Probably after the Trevi Fountain it is the most photographed.

In this post the photo is of the Danube, the longest river in Europe.

The majestic Fountain of the Four Rivers and its enigmatic obelisk. In the majestic Piazza Navona, in the heart of Rome, stands one of the most iconic wonders of the eternal city: the Fountain of the Four Rivers. This artistic masterpiece, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century, is a true symbol of beauty, history and artistic ingenuity. The fountain, located in the center of the square, is one of the greatest expressions of the Italian Baroque. It represents four of the most important rivers in the world at the time, each personified by a colossal statue: the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube and the Rio de la Plata. These imposing figures seem to emerge from the water, embracing a 16-meter-high Egyptian obelisk, crowned by the dove, symbol of the family of Pope Innocent X, who commissioned the fountain. Each statue represents a river from a different part of the world, and Bernini has masterfully captured the essence of each. The Nile, for example, has its face covered by a cloth, as the source of the Nile was still a mystery at the time. The Ganges holds a water bladder and a pagoda, while the Danube holds a medallion depicting Saint Agnes in her hand, symbolizing the Church of Rome. Finally, the Rio de la Plata is covered by a cloak, symbolizing the fact that South America was then little known to Europeans. The Egyptian obelisk that tops the fountain is a true historical treasure. Originally erected in the city of Heliopolis in Egypt in 6 BC, it was brought to Rome in 37 AD to be erected in the Circus Maxentius, where it remained for centuries. In 1651, Pope Innocent X decided to place it in the Piazza Navona, and Bernini designed the majestic fountain to adorn it. The obelisk is covered with hieroglyphics that tell the story of the Pharaoh Domitian. At the top is a dove with an olive branch, a symbol of peace and one of the many surprising details that enrich the Fountain of the Four Rivers.
Today, the fountain and obelisk remain one of Rome’s main landmarks. Their beauty and the energy they exude are testaments to centuries of history, art, and culture. These monuments not only celebrate the greatness of the Eternal City, but also remind us of the importance of preserving humanity’s cultural heritage for future generations.

The Colosseum: An Iconic Symbol of Ancient Rome. The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is one of the most iconic and recognisable monuments in the world. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, this impressive amphitheatre has a fascinating history and timeless beauty that attracts visitors from all over the world. In this article, we will explore the history, architecture and cultural significance of the Colosseum. The Colosseum was built during the time of the Roman Empire and is one of the largest amphitheatres ever built. Its construction began in 70-72 AD under Emperor Vespasian of the Flavian dynasty and was completed in 80 AD under his son, Emperor Titus. This grand amphitheater could seat up to 80,000 spectators and was used for a variety of public events, including gladiatorial games, theatrical performances, mock naval battles and other spectacles. Its troubled history includes fires, earthquakes and looting, but the Colosseum has withstood the passage of centuries and has remained standing, a witness to the ages and transformations of the city of Rome. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a stone quarry for the construction of other buildings, but today it is a symbol of great historical and cultural importance. The architecture of the Colosseum is an extraordinary example of Roman ingenuity. The amphitheater is mainly built of travertine stone, with an elliptical structure that measures approximately 189 meters in length, 156 meters in width and reaches a height of over 48 meters. The exterior façade was adorned with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns, which helped give the Colosseum a majestic elegance. Inside, the stands were divided into different sections reserved for different social classes. The central section was reserved for the Roman elite, while the lower classes occupied the higher sections. The central part of the arena hosted the spectacular gladiatorial performances, battles between wild beasts and other shows. The arena was actually a wooden platform covered with sand, which could be raised to reveal the underground cells where gladiators and animals were prepared for performances. The Colosseum is a symbol of Roman architectural ingenuity and the importance of games and entertainment in Roman society. It is also an important historical and tourist site, attracting millions of visitors from around the world each year. In 1980, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. In addition to its historical importance, the Colosseum is a place of profound cultural and emotional significance for the Italian people. It is a symbol of national pride and the ancient grandeur of Rome.
In conclusion, the Colosseum remains an icon of ancient Rome, an extraordinary monument that tells the story of the Roman Empire and its cultural legacy.
