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.

Thank you Carlo
Glad you enjoyed it.
I wanted to start filling this gallery dedicated to my city with the photo of the Duomo that represents the tormented history of the city that has experienced alternating phases now of splendor and thus of destruction..

Excellent revival of the Duomo and the tower, very beautiful architecturally, with a view chosen by a good pdr that enhances their façade and the main visual structure together with the square and on the left side (of the monitor) to the beautiful fenced fountain :-) .
The light is a Duretta thread but it is not bad, personally I would try to correct the perspective aberrations of the wide angle in post (vertical alignments of the lines) and finally to my taste, cloned away at least that Ciuffetto, the last left that pops up From the top to the left of the bell tower, but nothing transcendental ;-). The photo is very beautiful and I really like, the didactic notes embellish with their information The beautiful photograph that you have proposed and shared: Congratulations Sergio.
A dear greeting and good Weekend, Claudio :-P

Thanks Joeb, your positive opinion to this shot gratifies me and your suggestion, on cloning those branches, having also come from Claudio (nightflier) convinces me more and more to try a version cleaned up. As already written in reply to him, I had been tempted to do so, but then, it goes to sensations, I had found motivations to preserve them.
Thanks for the positive comment, for compliments and for the always well-accepted suggestions.
