Il bel palazzo in piazzetta Ruggero ad Assisi. Una delle foto iconiche di Assisi, tolta quella della Basilica di San Francesco, è sicuramente di questo palazzo che sorge all’incontro di due strade: Piaggia di Porta San Pietro e via Fontebella. Sede di questa bella edicola votiva con una Madonna con Bambino della quale però non riesco a trovare molte informazioni.

The apse ceiling of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. Santa Maria sopra Minerva is one of the most important churches in Rome and is located near the Pantheon, in the Pigna district. Built in the 13th century by the Dominican Friars, it is one of the rare examples of Gothic architecture in Rome, famous for its history, art and architecture. The basilica stands on a site that was previously occupied by a pagan temple, initially attributed to the goddess Minerva, but which was actually dedicated to Isis. The name "sopra Minerva" derives from this ancient belief. The construction of the Gothic church began in 1280 and was completed at the beginning of the 14th century. Over the centuries, the church has undergone numerous modifications and restorations, while maintaining its Gothic character.
The interior of Santa Maria sopra Minerva is richly decorated and maintains its original Gothic structure. It has a three-nave plan with pointed arches and vaulted ceilings. The side aisles house several richly decorated chapels with important works of art.
The apse ceiling is particularly impressive, with a ribbed vault richly decorated with bright colors and intricate patterns. In the center of the apse is a large painting depicting religious scenes, which helps create a solemn and evocative atmosphere.
Other Elements of Interest are: the Funeral Monument of Saint Catherine of Siena (Saint Catherine of Siena is buried in the basilica, and her tomb is a place of great devotion) and Bernini's Elephant (in the square in front of the church there is an Egyptian obelisk supported by a statue of an elephant, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; this monument is commonly known as the “Pulcino della Minerva”).
Santa Maria sopra Minerva is a place of great historical, artistic and religious importance, representing a unique example in the Roman architectural panorama for its Gothic style and the numerous works of art it houses.

For the Tree of the Cross Taddeo drew on an iconography that has its best example in the Tree of Pacino di Buonaguida, here however simplified, with the prophets and evangelists in the roundels in place of the episodes of the life of Christ the prophets and evangelists. The respective writings of the characters are linked to the mystery of the Passion as it comes true. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

L’interno della splendida Cappella degli Scrovegni a Padova. Uno dei luoghi che ho visitato che mi ha piu’ meravigliato e impressionato. Per la mia esperienza se la gioca con la Cappella Sistina di Roma. Qui Giotto ha realizzato uno dei capolavori dell’arte di tutti i tempi. Non voglio scrivere molto di piu’ perche’ le descrizioni degli affreschi e la storia del luogo la potete facilmente leggere online (e come sempre non mi piace scopiazzare).

The frescoes of the church of Saints Giovanni and Reparata in Lucca. Entering the monumental church of Lucca I was amazed to see the quality of the ancient works of art preserved inside. Like these frescoes with the Madonna between Saints Nicola and Caterina and Saints Ginese, Sebastiano and Barbara.
The Santa Reparata complex was built in the 5th century on an area of Roman settlement. Around the 6th century the complex took on a cemetery function but in the 8th century the church was functioning again. In the 9th century a crypt was opened where the relics of San Pantaleone, found in 1714, were placed. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

Gli affreschi sulla facciata di un palazzo a Chiavari. Passeggiando per il bel centro storico della città di Chiavari, quasi ogni volta, poso lo sguardo (e di conseguenza l’obiettivo della mia macchinina fotografica) su qualche punto che non avevo mai visto prima. Come questi bei affreschi sulla facciata di un palazzo (se non ricordo male in via Giuseppe Raggio) all’altezza del sagrato della Chiesa di San Giovanni.

Gli affreschi sull’esterno di un elegante palazzo a Chiavari. passeggiando a testa in su per le strade di Chiavari c’e’ sempre qualcosa di bello da vedere e fotografare. Come questo bel palazzo di Corso Gianelli, la strada che passa di fronte alla stazione ferroviaria, che ospita una serie di palazzi dalla chiara importanza. Questo per esempio ha il sottotetto completamente dipinto; io nel titolo ho messo affreschi anche se immagino che siano solamente pitture. Bellissimi comunque.
