Leonessa, a photo from Rieti, Lazio

Photographer's Note

Leonessa is a town and comune in the far northeastern part of the Province of Rieti in the Lazio region of Italy. Its population in 2003 was around 2,700.
Situated in a small plain at the foot of Mt. Terminillo, one of the highest mountains of the Apennine range, in the winter Leonessa is known mostly as a low-key staging center for the ski slopes of the Terminillo, and in the summer as a weekend vacation town frequented for the most part by Romans with local roots.
Historically, the town is known mostly as the birthplace of St. Giuseppe di Leonessa.
Initially was called Gonessa and changed name, for the demonstrated fidelity, around to 1450. In 1347 it had and burnt from the king of Hungary, and in the 1569 Spoleto it came to an agreement its citizenship to all the inhabitants of Leonessa. Even if today is in Lazio and in order nearly all its history has made part of the reign of Naples, Leonessa until years ' 70 of 1900 has made part of the diocese of Spoleto and has always had strong ties with the Umbria and today it asks to make some it leave.

Ciao Silvio,
In questa bellissima inquadratura c'è l'idea vincente di mettere l'uomo seduto sulla panchina, in modo da dare vita ad un'immagine molto ben riuscita. Complimenti e buon WE.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

Ciao Silvio,
buonissima composizione ed inquadratura, accentuano la prospettiva irresistibile che ci porta fortemente verso l' apertura allo sfondo. Mi piace tanto la ripetizione dei motivi architetturali e la loro interazione, la gestione della luce nell' ombra, l' ottima chiarezza e la tonalita' rosa che contrasta deliziosamente le tonalita' sottomesse in tutto il quadro. La signora non disturba l' ambiente tranquilo portando esattamente gli stessi colori. Complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona serata,
Ourania

Bonsoir, cher Silvio,
Je suis toujours admiratif devant cette architecture réalisée par nos aïeux.
Ces arcades démontrent un savoir-faire exceptionnel qui défie les siècles et le temps.
Bel effet de perspective.
Amitiés.

The details of the architecture, its depth of imagery, and the saturation of colours is somthing that you have mastered. Its so pleasing and expressive to the eye. Here, the low arches and the relatively wide corridore has been very well captured. The play of light and shadows have been wonderfully managed.
Couldnt help but smile at the man on his mobile phone. It is a psychological contrast - the antique and solid architecture against the fickleness of modern man, enslaved by the mobile phone.
Thanks for sharing.

Ciao Silvio
l'uomo presente nella foto è sicuramente una bella idea, ma diventa una genialata vederlo con il telefonino in mano. Il luogo sembra così deserto che l'uomo sembra cercare compagnia al telefono.
Saluti

Buona sera Silvio,
Archs within just more archs. Excelent perspective and DOF, light was mild and yet managed a fairly good view to the outside light on far.
The lady taking a rest, looks as she did not care to model in your photo. Cheers,
Ike
