Piazza San Carlo - Perspectives


This is Piazza S. Carlo in all its perfect geometry and design. In the background the twin Churches. On the left: S. Cristina (see Wednesday), on the right: San Carlo. Details next days. If you have chance, enlarge the image.

Questa è Piazza San Carlo nella sua perfetta geometria. Sullo sfondo le Chiese gemelle. Alla sinistra la chiesa di S. Cristina (cfr. Mercoledì), sulla destra: la chiesa di S. Carlo. Nei prossimi giorni i dettagli. Se ne avete modo, ingrandite l'immagine.

Your own words summed this image up perfectly, and your capture was equally as stunning.

Ahhhh, crisp, clean, splendid.

Perfect geometry is right. When I enlarged it I gasped! Just amazing. Your photographing of these extraordinary buildings is superb. I look forward to each and every one.

What a superb photo! And the geometry and symmetry is such a splendid contrast to the curves of the Palazzo Carignano that you posted two days ago. Outstanding.

I have traveled to Italy six times, including leading a group of 16 friends and family there two summers ago. I am anxious to return and to add Torino to the itinerary.

Oh dear, I can see I will have to come back to Turin! Such beauty, Fabrizio. What a photograph.

Thankyou so much for your comments yesterday - great to know those villages/towns along the Ligurian coast that has those marvellous colours. Yes I will go! And thankyou for all your other kind comments.

Yes I enlarged; so clear and sharp! I wonder if there are any architectural tricks as with the "twin" chapels in Piazza del Popolo in Rome, which aren't really twins (different sized sites, one has a round dome, and one oval)

This is beautiful Fabrizio. The paving and cobblestones in the piazza are a wonderful complement to the buildings, churches and statue.
