La Chiesa di Santa Engrácia a Lisbona dalla nave. Spesso, quando sono in nave e quando il porto è particolarmente vicino al centro, mi piace salire sui ponti più alti e fotografare i monumenti o gli edifici da una prospettiva insolita (che forse solo con un drone di può avere). Come in questo caso, la mia nave era a Lisbona ed ho scattato diverse foto che piano piano inserisco. Questa è una delle chiese maggiori della città portoghese, eletta a Pantheon per la sua imponenza e per il fatto che si riesce a vedere da quasi ogni angolo della città.

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.

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.

Il campanile della Basilica Minore di Santa Maria Assunta di Camogli. Qualche tempo fa, per circostanze poco felici purtroppo, ho percorso molto spesso la via Aurelia da Sestri Levante a Genova. La strada è lunga ma veramente meravigliosa: tante curve, è vero, ma una vista sulla Riviera ligure di Levante impareggiabile. In questi scatti, ad esempio, si vede la bella chiesa (ed in particolare il campanile) che domina la Baia di Camogli! Spero una prospettiva insolita della chiesa.

Oggi vi porto con me in un viaggio all’interno di questa meraviglia architettonica. Quando si entra nel Duomo di Milano, ci si trova immersi in un’atmosfera di pura grandiosità.

Il pavimento a mosaico e le vetrate colorate creano un’esplosione di colori e luce, mentre le volte a crociera si ergono sopra di voi, testimoni silenziosi di secoli di storia. Il Duomo è anche un luogo di profonda spiritualità e devozione. Mentre camminate lungo le navate, potrete ammirare altari dedicati a santi e figure religiose venerate, ognuno con la sua storia e il suo significato. L’altare maggiore è un capolavoro di scultura e raffinatezza, un luogo di preghiera e contemplazione per i fedeli e i visitatori. Ma l’avventura non finisce qui!

Le guglie, le statue e i dettagli architettonici del Duomo si stagliano contro il cielo, offrendo uno spettacolo senza pari.

La breve via dedicata a Monsignor Luigi Marinetti a Chiavari. Passeggiando per il centro storico di Chiavari, sempre con naso all’insù alla ricercha di qualche angolo da fotografare, sono capitato in quest piccola via, laterale alla chiesa di San Giacomo di Rupinaro, e ho scattato una foto. Solo dopo ho scoperto il nome della via che è dedicata al Monsignor Luigi Marinetti di cui però non ho trovato proprio nulla online.
