The starry ceiling of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua

Il soffitto stellato della Basilica di Sant'Antonio di Padova

The starry ceiling of the Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua.
When visiting Padua I could not miss entering the Basilica of the Saint.
In addition to the famous chapel, I was impressed, in the presbytery behind the main altar, by the blue ceiling decorated with golden stars.
If I am not mistaken, these frescoes were created by Casanova and were damaged by the great earthquake that hit North-West Italy on May 29, 2012.

The Pontifical Minor Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua is one of the main Catholic places of worship in the city of Padua, in the Veneto region. Known worldwide as the Basilica del Santo, or more simply as the Saint, it is one of the largest churches in the world and is visited annually by over 6.5 million pilgrims, making it one of the most venerated sanctuaries in the Christian world. However, it is not the city's cathedral, a title that belongs to the cathedral. The relics of Saint Anthony of Padua and his tomb are kept there.

And this too:

The most significant architectural aspect of the town is the presence of colored buildings overlooking the beach. The colors and the lighter horizontal lines (called string courses) served the sailors of Camogli to more easily recognize their home among the various floors of the buildings in the village and return there after fishing.

Il porticato del chiostro di San Matteo a Genova

The portico of the cloister of San Matteo in Genoa.
Whenever I am in Genoa with a friend who has never visited the city I always take him to see this beautiful little church, a stone's throw from Piazza De Ferrari, very spectacular.
In addition to the church, in particular, there is the splendid cloister (pictured here) which can be visited for free on the days it is open to the public.
There is also a nice official website: parrocchiasanmatteo.org.

Here is where the abbey is located:

Martino Doria, who entered the Benedictine friars of the Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte after becoming a widower, obtained permission from Bishop Sigifredo to build a small church on land owned by the family near the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The dedication of the new church to San Matteo was linked to his profession as a tax collector, just like the Dorias, who therefore made him their patron.

The famous facade of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan

La famosa facciata della Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano

The famous facade of the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan.
When I visited this splendid basilica, one of the symbols of Milan, I still remember the first verses of the homonymous poem by Giuseppe Giusti that I learned in middle school:

“Vostra Eccellenza, che mi sta in cagnesco
per que’ pochi scherzucci di dozzina,
e mi gabella per antitedesco
perché metto le birbe alla berlina,
o senta il caso avvenuto di fresco
a me che, girellando una mattina,
càpito in Sant’Ambrogio di Milano,
in quello vecchio, là, fuori di mano.”

The famous facade with the quadriportico.

The Last Judgement in the Bolognini Chapel in Bologna

Il Giudizio Universale nella Cappella Bolognini del Duomo di Bologna

The Last Judgement in the Bolognini Chapel in Bologna
One of the most iconic works of art in the Italian heritage is certainly the wall of the Bolognini Chapel (known as the Chapel of the Magi) inside the Cathedral of Bologna.
Unfortunately I had to shoot at an angle but you can still see and appreciate many of the famous details of both the Inferno and the Paradiso conceived by Giovanni da Modena.
