No, da parte mia nessun attacco di "cancel culture" ai danni del santo, è che ho fotografato la sua basilica in un'ora di grande contrasto. Per me è sempre una visione magnifica: il quadriportico, la facciata del nartece con le sue aperture, le due torri. In origine di torri ce n'era una sola - quella di destra - , il problema è che a servire l'abbazia c'erano due comunità, una di canonici, sistemata sul lato nord del complesso (a sinistra nella foto), l'altra di monaci benedettini, a sud (la Cattolica con i suoi due chiostri è la ricostruzione cinquecentesca del monastero, realizzata quando al posto dei benedettini si insediarono i cistercensi). Le due comunità condividevano l'amore a nostro Signore e al santo vescovo ma su tutto il resto litigavano, pare anzi che in qualche occasione monaci e canonici siano persino passati alle mani e ai bastoni: litigavano per l'utilizzo dell'ambone, per le offerte (questo è ovvio) e per l'utilizzo del campanile, quello più antico che si vede sulla destra. Fu così che nel XII secolo i canonici ottennero dal vescovo il permesso di costruirsi un campanile tutto per loro, quello che si vede a sinistra della foto. Naturalmente lo edificarono più alto di quello dei monaci perché nelle torri le dimensioni contano eccome. Per quanto riguarda me, sono una bestia peggiore dei litigiosi canonici e monaci di S. Ambrogio, come dice uno dei miei utenti ho un carattere "molto pessimo", così quando mi trovo a fotografare l'architettura divento misantropo e insofferente nei confronti dei visitatori, turisti o fedeli non fa differenza, che inquinano il campo delle mie operazioni fotografiche e poco importa che lo facciano con pieno diritto. L'altro giorno a Sant'Ambrogio non sopportavo neppure l'abbigliamento estivo del nemico: se proprio dovete starmi tra i piedi, cercate almeno di essere belli e di vestirvi con decenza! E da che pulpito, io sembravo un barbone. E poi perché vi soffermare a fotografare col cellulare, cosa avete da fotografare?! Sono solo vecchie pietre, rozze e spoglie! Potete immaginare quanto mi sia costata questa foto in cui non compaiono umani. #chiese #romanico #architetturaRomanica

Beautiful story, beautiful photo, beautiful w / b, nice to see that between the two quarrelers (monks and canons) the third enjoys (the photographer) :-D, of which I share the thought about human pollution in certain places that you want to photograph in their natural or essential beauty ;-)
congratulations.

Even in the clerical sphere, men remain so.
Beautiful and funny your caption/ outburst. Holy Heaven, how can we not understand you!
Excellent photo despite the attacks of the many present (what were they doing in that place .. ?) to disfigure the clear solitude of the ancient stones.
Greetings.

Sant'Ambrogio, the old one, out of hand, to put it with the Giusti. For the outburst, I am totally on your side. Good, but not suited to my tastes (extreme, perhaps too much) the B / W, cmq appreciable. Perfect composition, and you don't always find it so many photos. Congratulations.
Greetings, Alessandro.

Black and white of beautiful workmanship to highlight this sacred place, highlights the pleasant sober geometries calling to enter.

Beautiful shot and b / w accompanied by an excellent caption. I agree with seeing in people, the enemy of our photographic "operations". But on the other hand, "they" are also entitled... :-)

Thanks Francesco! Yes, of course they are entitled as much and more than me.
