Dedicata a Santa Maria Assunta, la cattedrale di Cremona viene edificata agli inizi del XII secolo e rappresenta, dal punto di vista artistico, uno dei principali e più insigni esempi di architettura religiosa del Nord Italia. Domina la piazza del Comune, fulcro e cuore dell'antica città medioevale. Si trova nel punto più alto della città formando con il Torrazzo e il Battistero il polo della vita religiosa. Affianca il duomo la torre campanaria comunemente chiamata Torrazzo. Alta oltre 112 metri è frutto della sovrapposizione di due strutture diverse. La prima, edificata probabilmente nel 1267, è una torre romanica con merlatura guelfa. La seconda è costituita da due tamburi ottagonali (ghirlanda) collocati alla sommità della torre. Si ipotizza che la costruzione sia stata terminata nel 1305. La palla e la croce poste alla sommità della cupola risalgono al XVII secolo. Suggestiva è la salita del Torrazzo dalla cui sommità si gode uno stupendo panorama della città e del fiume Po. La cella campanaria racchiude 7 campane fuse nel 1744. Ognuna è dedicata ad un santo, compreso il protettore della città, S. Omobono. I loro suoni formano un concerto in la bemolle. L'orologio astronomico del campanile viene installato nel 1583 da Francesco Divizioli in sostituzione di uno più antico e a seguito della Riforma Gregoriana del calendario. Il meccanismo perfettamente funzionante è quello originale, mentre il quadrante è stato più volte ridipinto. La versione attuale risale al 1970. L'orologio è in grado di indicare il moto degli astri, le fasi lunari e il moto del sole. (Tratto da www.cattedraledicremona.it) Sigma 17-50 f.2.8 a 17 mm. So che la distorsione prospettica è evidente ma l'angolazione mi sembra lo stesso suggestiva.

Framing cutting and challenging pdr where the wide angle whisk the distortions and alignments on which, except for the use of tilting wide-angle lenses (Tilt-shisft) You can only intervene later in post with software filters To assist in the management of these perspectives never easy to optimize; This given the architectural and historical period resumed is splendid and the photo gives a beautiful view still supported by a very good light that enhances in synergy both the color and the detail ;-); Congratulations Guglielmo.
A greeting, Claudio :-P

Thanks a lot Claudio, as always your analysis is very careful. It's true I dared but I think the result is pleasant. In addition to the cut as you say I loved the late afternoon light.
Thank you for your attention I'm glad you liked it.
Good Day William
