, 1/4000 f/2.8, ISO 100, hand held. Milano, Italy.

Al centro è la Guglia Maggiore del Duomo, costruita tra il 1765 e il 1769 su progetto dell'architetto Francesco Croce; e penso che sia superfluo specificare che la statua dorata in cima ad essa è quella che i milanesi chiamano “la Madonnina” (“Madunina” in menenghino). È alta quattro metri e fu realizzata su disegno dello scultore Giuseppe Perego, tra il 1769 e il 1773, in lastre di rame placcate d'oro su un'armatura metallica. In primo piano e fuori fuoco ci sono tre guglie sull'angolo destro della facciata della cattedrale. Andando da sinistra verso destra vediamo San Vitale, Sant'Agricola e San Genesio. Risalgono al XIX secolo, come la stragrande maggioranza delle statue e delle guglie del Duomo; ma quelle di San Vitale (scolpita nel 1809 dall'artista ticinese Donato Carabelli) e San Genesio sono copie realizzate nel dopoguerra da Mario Bassetti, scultore della Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo, in sostituzione delle originali distrutte dai bombardamenti del 1943. Nel primo post dei commenti qui sotto c'è un'altra foto, presa nella medesima occasione e dallo stesso punto di ripresa, sempre a f/2.8 ma con la messa a fuoco su una guglia in primo piano; oltre ad alcuni link sul Duomo e sulla Veneranda Fabbrica. #Chiesa #Cattedrale #Monumenti #Statua #Bokeh

Manual focus, hand free. How the hell did you do it?
Another question, I wonder how much they knew about lightning in the mid-1700s. Here I see the spikes to favor the release of charge, certainly not from the mid-1700s.

Great Roberto, as always 8-)
Yes, I knew about Franklin. What I was wondering, actually, was how much they knew about it in Milan in the mid-1700s.
A warm greeting and thank you as always.
I'm not kidding, there's always something to learn from you.
