Il dipinto “Madonna in trono col Bambino e Santi” del Ghirlandaio a Lucca. In italia siamo talmente abituati ad incontrare e osservare opere d’arte che quasi non ci facciamo nemmeno più caso. Qualche anno fa, ad esempio, sono stato un paio di giorni a Lucca e visitando il duomo di San Martino ho fotografato questa bellissima opera del Ghirlandaio. Forse non la sua opera più famosa ma comunque sempre un capolavoro!
