La cattedrale di Messina, intitolata a S.Maria ha una storia che inizia già in epoca bizantina e con successivi rimaneggiamenti, distruzioni e ricostruzioni passa quindi attraverso i periodi: arabo; normanno; svevo, aragonese; spagnolo; quindi subisce gravi danni nel terremoto del 1894, che distrusse soprattutto la parte alta della facciata, ricostruita, nel terremoto del 1908, venne nuovamente distrutta. Ricostruita ancora una volta, con sapiente recupero di moltissime delle opere originarie, ma durante i bombardamenti della secondo conflitto mondiale, nel '43 subì danni anche peggiori di quelli del terremoto perché un incendio la distrusse quasi completamente, resistendo le opere perimetrali. L'arcivescovo Paino che già aveva promosso la ricostruzione post terremoto, promosse ancora la ricostruzione e nel 1947 venne riaperta al culto con la conformazione attuale con il recupero soprattutto della facciata e con marmi e mosaici interni pregevoli copie degli originali andati distrutti. Il campanile ha subito ricostruzioni meno conservative. La versione attuale più elegante , meno tozzo rispetto a quella precedente, ospita un magnifico orologio animato costruito da una ditta di Strasburgo nel 1933, tale sistema è considerato il più grande e complesso orologio meccanico del mondo. La sua animazione ha delle fasi durante tutta la giornata, ma nel quarto d'ora successivo ad ogni mezzodì esegue tutta una serie di cicli, ognuno dei quali ha una precisa simbologia e che raccoglie, nella piazza antistante numeri turisti con il naso all'insù. Accanto al Duomo, nella stessa piazza si erge la fontana di Orione eretta da Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli nel 1553 definita da Berenson “la più bella fontana del cinquecento in Europa” Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

I agree with what is written by Claudio (Nightflier) on the aberrations from wide angle, these shots are just the "ugly beasts" to be placed in post..... :-D
for the rest (light and "Ciuffetti" various....) Instead I like in the composition, even in my opinion "create" a natural frame to the monuments...
Congratulations and good evening
Ciauuuzz Mario

Thanks Mario for your evaluation to this shot, as already responded to Claudio, I had tried in pp to correct the lines, but the result did not satisfy me. I am glad you agree with me about the sprigs ;-) and their cloning.
Thank you for your compliments.

Hello Cinzia: Glad you enjoyed this shot, but I'm surprised that this has awakened pleasant memories. :-)
I have to add plugs to this gallery on Messina, I have many shots, but when I post them, I never meet enough. Slowly they will arrive. ;-)
Thanks also for the mission you propose: to taste a granita with relative brioche, you always do it with great pleasure :-P
Ciao
Sergio
