La chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria d'Egitto è un edificio di culto situato nel centro storico di Palermo. Fa parte dell'aggregato monumentale altrimenti noto localmente, come “Chiesa di Santa Caterina delle Donne”, unitamente al trecentesco monastero domenicano L'impianto della chiesa è a unica navata con tre cappelle per lato, si sviluppa longitudinalmente ed è attraversato dal transetto su cui si innesta la cupola. Ciò che colpisce di più è la ricca decorazione dell'interno, tipico dell'età della Controriforma. La decorazione degli spazi interni, così come per molte altre chiese palermitane, è costituita da un sontuoso apparato in marmi mischi e tramischi, stucchi ed affreschi che si fondono, in un'unica armonica lettura, con le strutture architettoniche portanti. L'altare maggiore è realizzato in pietre dure, agate grigie e verdi, con ornamenti in rame dorato su progetto di Andrea Palma. Il paliotto , anch'esso in pietre dure con sepolcro della madre badessa suor Maria del Carretto del 1598: colei che promosse i lavori di rinnovamento. Ai lati sono presenti due splendidi angeli lignei dorati con vesti e ali laminate in argento. Il monastero destinato in principio alle semplici donne meretrici, solo verso il XVI secolo per magnificenza e ricchezza diviene uno dei monasteri nobiliari e di clausura, più importanti del territorio palermitano. Il fasto e la grandezza della chiesa esterna dovevano significare la potenza del Papato, nel caso specifico di tutto il complesso di Santa Caterina, altri due elementi in più: la nobiltà, il censo, il rango, il blasone delle monache e il fatto che la chiesa ubicata al centro della città, doveva essere all'altezza del luogo Il ruolo religioso e caritatevole del gruppo monacale di Santa Caterina è ben noto ai palermitani, soprattutto ai più anziani, che continuano a mantenere vivo il ricordo dei sapori dei dolci tipici siciliani, che le suore usavano produrre nei giorni di festa. Il complesso monumentale, in uso alle monache di clausura, è visitabile solo recentemente -------Tutte le foto contenute in queste gallerie sono copyright Sergio Bartolomeo e non possono essere utilizzate in alcuna forma senza il consenso dell'autore.

Hello Francesca.
Thank you for your opinion favorable to this shot.
With regard to your advice, I fully agree with you, among other things I try, if possible, avoid inserting minors in the shots that public. I have done others, hoping to seize a moment when no one appeared, in the shot, but it was an impossible mission, among other things the photos on tripod are not often seen a good eye by the warders. So make some attempts and then go fast. This choice is the one where they appear less, wavy, so unrecognizable, I had to content myself. Perhaps, with infinite patience I should try to clone them, as well as those people in the center aisle.
Thanks for comment and advice.
