Chiesa di San Valentino, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Church of San Valentino - San Valentino - Scheggino - Umbria

The Church of San Valentino stands in a small open space on the top of the castle of the same name, in a dominant position over the Nera River Valley. The Romanesque building, dedicated to the holy bishop of Terni known for being the protector of lovers, was built around the end of the 12th century. It probably began as an oratory of a monastic cell with an adjacent hospice, then in 1190 it passed to the Abbey of Ferentillo to which it was confirmed in 1231 by Gregory IX. In the 14th century it is reported by the Pelosius codex as belonging to the Plebato di Civitella. To learn more https://www.iluoghidelsilenzio.it/chiesa-di-san-valentino-san-valentino/

Hello Silvio,
There is no space surrounding these paintings, but they look good despite the slightly claustrophobic atmosphere and some damage. A small window provides enough light for a good exposure and nice colours.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio,

Le sujet est bien cadré. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la fresque de l'église San Valentino. La lumière fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Silvio,
I like the soft and filtered light here, which you handled really well and still managed to show the colours of the old work of art very well. Good composition and clarity.

Hi Silvio
A fine close view of the chapel's interior with good feel of depth and viewpoint that you have exploited to max. The colours and detail of fresco lend more interest and visual effect
and above all your light control is faultless.
Best regards

Ciao Silvio,
Beautiful wall so decoratively painted. We have both the crucifixion scene at the top and the Mother and a Child at the bottom. Suitable both for Christmas and Easter.
Great colors well recorded in spite of the limited light inside.
