, 2 sec f/9.0, ISO 100, tripod. Sorano, Italy.

Il Duomo, la cattedrale di Sovana Il Duomo di Sovana sorge appena alla fine del paese. L'epoca della diocesi di Sovana è incerta: quasi sicuramente è precedente al Vescovo Maurizio, il primo citato in un documento del 680. La cattedrale, ora Concattedrale dell'attuale diocesidi Sovana, Pitigliano e Orbetello, è costruita su un leggero lievo. La cripta del Duomo di Sovana Sottostante al Duomo, nell'area del presbiteo, vi è la cripta in pietra tufacea, tuttora ancora esistente e visitabile, con ingresso esterno ed interno. La costruzione della Cattedrale avvenne probabilmente come trasformazione e accrescimento di una chiesa già presente e durò secoli, infatti possiamo notari più stili: longobardo, romanico e gotico. La diffusa presenza dello stile romanico, conferma il periodo centrale della costruzione nell' XI secolo, durante l'espansione degli Aldobrandeschi e del Papato di Gregorio VII (1073-1085). Interno del Duomo di Sovana La chiesa è caratterizzata da pilastri a fiasco con capitelli che dividono la chiesa in tre navate. Le volte a crociera di quella centrale confermano la costruzione nel pieno Duecento. La cupola, con il suo passaggio in ottagono è simbolo della spiritualizzazione della materia verso il sentiero che conduce al Divino. Le decorazioni riproducono forme vegetali o animali, rari volti umani o soggetti biblici. Quasi completamente costruito in tufo, ad eccezione delle pietre alternate bianche e nere usate per i pilastri delle navate. Possiamo notare anche l'uso di manufatti di epoche precedenti, provenienti da altre chiese di Sovana, come alcuni capitelli di ispirazione paleocristiana.

Giuseppe your presence makes me very happy, the place is magnificent her, these churches remained intact as originally are my favorite, you feel the presence of the sacred, and the fact that they are little known helps a lot to keep the atmosphere and It facilitates not just the shooting ;-)
I thank you for your courtesy

Hello Claudio, good caption that leads us into this architectural jewel. For technical issues they have already told you all but I did, however, emphasize what you have already said in answer to Joseph; [IMG][/IMG] these churches remained intact as originally are my favorite, you feel the presence of the sacred, and the fact that they are little known helps a lot to keep the atmosphere [IMG][/IMG] , sacred truth and that's what I can perceive from this shot. Really good.

Richard, I'm glad this harmony of views about these places, just yesterday I took another Romanesque church without any contamination, with a twelfth-century altar on which I imagined us santoGraal 8-)
It was just me and for 10 minutes I breathed air magic ..
Replicate the atmosphere in the picture is impossible, but it's a good way to remember it ;-)
Thanks so much
Claudio

It appears to me that you paid attention to everything. Color, light, atmosfera..insomma seems to be there in absolute silence.
Comlimenti and a greeting.

Sorry I'm late, but this shot is to be admired. The almost unadorned environments, and your wise management of lights, enhance the architectural beauty of the place where the colors, sharpness, and detail complement the success of this photograph. Complimenti.bravissimo.ciao Mauro
