The Cathedral, a photo from Trento, Trentino Alto Adige

Photographer's Note

Cattedrale di San Vigilio
È la principale chiesa cittadina ed è stata edificata sull'area in cui era originariamente presente un antico tempio dedicato a san Vigilio, da cui prende il nome e che è il patrono della città.
quello che hio fotografato è la navata maggiore terminante ad est della crociera con un presbiterio molto profondo e con un'abside semicircolare.
La chiesa dal 1545 al 1563 ospitò il Concilio di Trento.

Trento Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di San Vigilio) is the most important religious edifice in Trento, northern Italy. It was built over a pre-existing 6th century temple devoted to Saint Vigilius (Italian: San Vigilio), patron saint of the city.
Bishop Federico Wanga commissioned the architect Adamo d'Arogno to construct the new Lombard-Romanesque church. Works continued for more than a hundred years, with the Gothic style becoming increasingly evident.
The façade has a large rose window including The Wheel of Fortune. Notable also are the lions supporting the columns of the narthex on the northern side and the twisting columns in the apsidal area.
The interior has a nave and two aisles with a transept. The latter has 14th century frescoes depicting the legend of Saint Julian and the stone statue of the Madonna degli Annegati. The apse of the right transept houses the relics of the local martyrs Sisinius, Marturius and Alexander who died around 397 AD. In the right aisle is the Crucifix Chapel (1682), with a wooden crucifix at the feet of which were promulgated the issues of the Council of Trent, whose sessions were held in the church's presbytery.

Hello Renzo,

The symmetry is eye catching aspect of the shot, with even the reflections on the marble floor in perfect harmony. The individual walking slightly off symmetric makes it even more interesting. In physical laws symmetry breaking is a very important clue to searching for new laws.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bellissima, bravo! Magnifica prospettiva. Mi piacciono tanto gli ectoplasmi che si materializzano sulla pavimentazione e anche gli spiritelli (Polter Geist) detti anche fuochi fatui. Sono tutti miei amici e li conosco bene...
Renzo? La chiesa di Bolzano é meglio. Per non parlare di quella di Dobbiaco...

Hi Renzo.
Beautiful interior shot, well exposed and nicely proportioned crop for symmetry. I like the mellow tones and the figure walking away down the aisle. Well done.
Best wishes for the coming year.

Hi Renzo,
Great interior of this beautiful church. Great depth of field and curious de figure of the man at the end of the corridor that seems to be playing the guitar.

Have a good week
Juan

Ciao renzo,
molto bella la chiesa, molto bella la foto ed interessantissime le luci perfettamente inquadrate sulla pavimentazione che formano delle linee parallele con quelle dei mattoni.
Ottimo lavoro e tantissimi auguri di un felice 2011
