L’oratorio di Santa Maria in Selàa a Tellaro

L’oratorio di Santa Maria in Selàa a Tellaro.
Passeggiando tra gli stretti vicoli di Tellaro mi sono imbattuto in questa piccola piazzetta in cui ha sede l’oratorio di Santa Maria in Selàa (o anche Santa Maria ‘N Sela’a) che ho scoperto, cercando in rete, derivi dal termine “sull’ara” e che è uno degli edifici religiosi più antichi del borgo.

Tellaro is the easternmost hamlet of the municipality of Lerici, in the province of La Spezia. It has been reviewed as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
The town is a small seaside village, perched on a cliff overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia. A destination for many Italian and foreign artists, Mario Soldati found a home here during the long years of his old age.

La Concattedrale di Santa Maria ad Ostuni

La Concattedrale di Santa Maria ad Ostuni.
La bella Concattedrale gotica di Ostuni, in Puglia, con la sua facciata (nella prima foto) e con il soffitto affrescato (nella seconda).
Diverso tempo fa ormai sono stato in questa cittadina in provincia di Brindisi; meravigliosa città, famosa per le case e le strade pitturate con il bianco di calce (da cui detta Città Bianca).

Photo taken with Canon EOS M100 and lens Canon EF-S 10-18.

La concattedrale di Ostuni, posta alla sommità del colle più alto della città e dedicata a Santa Maria dell’Assunzione, fu iniziata nel 1435 e completata tra il 1470 e il 1495.

Santa Maria del Taro

Santa Maria del Taro.
Dopo una bella giornata a fare il giro delle tre province (noi chiamiamo così la gita che da Sestri Levante va a Varese Ligure, passa dal passo di Centocroci e da Tornolo e dal passo del Bocco ritorna a Chiavari) Genova, La Spezia e Parma sono passato dal piccolo borgo di Santa Maria presso il fiume Taro.
Devo dire la verità che non c’ero mai stato prima.
Potete vedere il Ponte dei Priori e il campanile del Santuario della Natività di Maria Vergine.

Il centro abitato sorge a 6 km dal passo del Bocco, situato poco oltre il confine con la città metropolitana di Genova, e rappresenta la località abitata emiliana più prossima al mar Ligure; per questo motivo il dialetto, la cucina e l’architettura mostrano varie influenze liguri.

Chiesa di San Satiro a Milano

Chiesa di San Satiro a Milano.
Vicino a piazza del Duomo c’è questa bella chiesetta che nasconde un segreto impressionante.
Impressionante poiché è una illusione ottica, creata dal genio artistico del Bramante, che con l’uso della prospettiva rende la chiesa molto più profonda di quanto non sia in realtà.
Non voglio scopiazzare in giro dalla rete, se volete approfondire o andate a visitare la chiesa oppure leggete su internet di cosa si tratta.

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.

Christ in the Pieve of Santa Maria in Arezzo

Christ in the Pieve di Santa Maria in Arezzo.
Although the church of Santa Maria della Pieve contains works of even greater value, my curiosity was attracted by this rather kitsch Christ, who seems to convincingly show his wounds and his blood made of red rope.
Apart from this slightly pulp curiosity, this thousand-year-old church, which is located in the center of Arezzo, houses works of great taste, more or less ancient, as well as the remains of Giorgio Vasari (born in Arezzo) and his wife Nicolosa.

The Obelisk of Minerva is one of the nine Egyptian obelisks of Rome, located in the Piazza della Minerva (the square of the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva).
