  1. Such a lovely sky you captured over the cathedral!
    I imagine the city becomes packed with visitors from around the globe when the Shroud is exhibited publicly. I will look forward to seeing photos you take when that time comes, which in terms of how aged your city is, will seem like no time at all.
    Wishing you a great weekend Fabrizio!

  4. @Kim and Hilda, I hope that this photo blog will live until there.If yes for sure I'll take lot of photos.

    @albi, è uno zoom: il 12-24 qui alla minima focale 12. La foto è peraltro molto sottesposta per ottenere la più alta definizione del cielo. F8 x 1/2500
