Rebirth of a town Photo

Photographer’s Note

Venaria Reale is a little village near Turin.
It's called "Reale" (Royal) because of the presence of a royal building of the Savoia family.
The building was recently restored after being abandoned for decades. We where extremely surprised by the excellent restoration and by the way the exposition, ideated by Peter Greenaway, is organized.
Together with the building all the town born again to a new life. Here we see its main street crowded by people enjoying the nice day. Dozens of restaurants and cafès are full of families living this lovable place.
At the end of the long street we can see the building entrance.

Hi Giorgio,

Very well composed image with good background interest. Excellent perspective and sharpened fine colours. One can loose oneself in this crowded street. Good work!

Regards,
JR

Hi Giorgio,
Wonderful shot of this cityscape scene with a crispy clear perspective of the people walking going about their daily lives and apparently unaware of the world surrounding them, I guess that it must be the city syndrome, well done and keep up the good work, thanks for sharing

Ciao Giorgio,
questa foto, dopo aver letto la nota esplicativa, è ancora più bella perchè assume maggiore significato: qui si tratta proprio di una rinascita.
Bel documento

ciao Giorgio,

mi piace la profondità di questa immagine....visione tipica delle domeniche pomeriggio italiche: la passeggiata in centro.
certo che se alla fine della passeggiata si ha un posto così incantevole...é meglio!
se poi...si mangia anche bene e sopratutto si beve meglio allora si tratta del top!

ciao
Silvio

Ciao Giorgio.
Molto bella e accurata. Belle linee verticali e ottima gestione dell'esposizione, che va dal luminoso sfondo alla massa umana che acquista compattezza dalla leggera sottoesposizione.
Ciao, Bobo.
