Chiesa di Santa Maria delle Grazie, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

This is the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie (translated as Holy Mary of Graces) in Milan. The nearest underground station is Cadorna.

This building is listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO, notwithstanding its position as one of the finest examples of Lombard Reinassance architecture - it also houses Leonardo Da Vinci's world famous 'The Last Supper'.

The courtyard in the foreground oozes a feeling of tranquil calm.

If you are visiting Milan this year, you must add this to your list of places to visit. Another reason is in an chapel adjoining this courtyard. Here is an exhibition showing various pages of 'Codex Atlanticus' - an atlas and encyclopedia written and drawn by Da Vinci.

Buon divertimento! :-)

I like this photo where two totally different worlds meet, and the connection is transcendential beauty. However, it is a bit over-satured for my taste, this photo works, because it captures me. Regards from Hungary

Bonsoir Luigi,
Cette composition est vraiment 騁onnante. Les couleurs chaudes en haut, et couleurs froides en bas. C'est un contrastte 騁onnant qui fait une photo diff駻ente. Cela me pla羡 beaucoup.

La composition de cette photo est tr鑚 int駻essante. Le posttraitement est un peu particulier et donne presque l'impression de deux images l'une au dessus de l'autre. Le b穰iment est impressionnant.
Amicalement
