La piazza di Santa Trinità a Firenze

La piazza di Santa Trinità a Firenze.
Una delle piazze più belle di Firenze (a proposito: trovatemi un punto della città vecchia che non sia bello…) dominata, al centro, dalla imponente Colonna della Giustizia (proveniente dalle Terme di Caracalla e con in cima la successiva statua della Giustizia) e circondata dalla omonima basilica (Basilica di Santa Trinità), dal trecentesco Palazzo Spini Feroni, dal cinquecentesco Palazzo Buondelmonti e dal cinquecentesco Palazzo Bartolini Salimbeni.
Un altro splendido angolo da visitare a Firenze.

Un tempo zona isolata fuori dalla seconda cerchia di mura, dopo la fondazione della chiesa e del convento dei vallombrosani (XI secolo) fu in seguito inclusa nella cerchia del 1172-75. Con la costruzione del ponte nel 1252 diventò un importante crocevia della città in espansione.

Una statua su una guglia del Duomo di Milano

Una statua su una guglia del Duomo di Milano.
Pur essendo la città di Milano ad un paio d’ore da dove abito io non sono molte le volte che sono stata a visitarla.
Devo dire pero’ che quasi tutte le volte sono salito in cima al Duomo.
Come lo scorso autunno e come potete immaginare ho scattato diverse foto tra cui questa di una statua posta su una delle più alte guglie che osserva (e forse protegge) la città.

The Moorish Christ in Santa Maria in Castello in Genoa

Il Cristo Moro in Santa Maria in Castello a Genova

The Moorish Christ in Santa Maria in Castello in Genoa.
This beautiful wooden crucifix, called Moorish for the dark color of the wood used, is one of the works in the beautiful church that impressed me the most.
Its history is very particular: during a restoration in the middle of the last century it was discovered that many elements of the statue (such as the beard and long hair) were fake and were not part of the original work; it was decided to remove them to bring the Christ back to the original. But since the faithful were so used to seeing the statue with those elements it was decided to make a copy (still present in the church).
Another beautiful story, of which I leave the links below, is the one that tells of betrayed loves that the statue remedied.

Here's where the courtyard is located:

The courtyard, like the entire building, dates back to the first half of the 17th century and was originally built as a cloister for the monastery of Santa Maria di Brera, governed by the Jesuit order, until the religious institute was suppressed and made property of the state, which transformed the building into the headquarters of the new academy of fine arts and art gallery.

The copy of the Madonnina of Milan in the Duomo Museum

La copia della Madonnina di Milano nei Musei del Duomo

The copy of the Madonnina of Milan in the Duomo Museum
A few months ago I spent a couple of days in the city of Milan and I tried to visit (and photograph) as many things as possible.
So I visited the Duomo and got the full package with the Museum.
In the museum, in one of the entrance halls, a perfect copy of the Madonnina that was made for the Expo (I think) has been placed.
And in the background the bell tower (campanile) of the church of San Gottardo in Corte.

The obelisk of the Immaculate Conception in Piazza del Gesù Nuovo in Naples.
One of the three obelisks or spires present in the beautiful city of Naples.
When I was taking the photo, in front of the monument, there were two fire trucks that I decided to leave to remind us of how important the Fire Brigade always is.
