Santa Maria Novella, a photo from Florence, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

La chiesa, costruita tra il Duecento ed il Trecento da Fra Jacopo Talenti (autore anche del campanile) su impulso della locale comunit� domenicana, � un superbo esempio di gotico italiano sulla cui facciata marmorea di colore bianco e verde scuro, suddivisa nella parte inferiore da piccole arcate,spicca il portale di Leon Battista Alberti, di ispirazione rinascimentale.

Hello Maurizio,
Excellent capture of this magnificent fa軋de that can be seen here in perfect detail. I like the off-centre placement and the framing offered by the obelisk. Impeccable technical quality.

Hello Maurizio,
What a beautiful church with a fa軋de with so many amazing details and ornaments, which look fantastic is this fine, natural light. The people add a good idea of the scale as well and the inclusion of the monument was also very good. Great work!

Hello Maurizio,
The patterns and decorations of the front facade of the church are very eye-catching. Also the arches on the right side.
You've added more depth to the picture by including the monument on this side of the street.
Best regards, paul

Ciao Maurizio,
Vedendo le tre chiese che hai fotografato a Firenze, sto imparando su questo tipico stile gotico della citt�!
Mi piacciono molto i pannelli geometrici di marmo bianco o rosa, circondati dal verde.
Composizione molto bella con l'obelisco e il muro ad arcate sulla destra. Inoltre il cielo era favorevole alla buona resa della foto.
Grazie per condividere.
Cari Saluti.
Marie Louise.

Ciao Mauro
fa sempre un certo effetto vedere le foto di monumenti che conosciamo bene e che vediamo spesso passando a piedi da l�.
Le piccole arcate vuote racchiudono delle tombe, dette "avelli".
Bella foto, diretta e di ottima qualit�.
Buona domenica
Carlo

Hello Maurizio,
A brilliant example of Italian Romanesque architecture with the distinctly light and dark elements.
A beautiful design where the name of the architect is rightly known.
You have made good use of the good photogenic conditions.
Excellent work.
Have a good Sunday, groet Rob
