Chiesa dei SS. Giovanni e Paolo, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo - Spoleto
The small church stands in the alley of the same name, in the area of the ancient Vaita Filittèria, the Byzantine district of medieval Spoleto. It was consecrated in 1174 and became one of the parish churches of the city; for its construction were used tanned stones and material from the Roman era. Recent excavations have shown that its current crypt was a real, pre-existing church, built in turn over an ancient Roman building. The raised presbytery above the crypt was only added in the 16th century.

Hello Silvio,
I like this view up the stairs and through the arch. There are many fine details, like the lamp, the small bell tower, a letterbox, flower pots etc. The exposure is perfect in the shady and brighter areas.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Silvio,

La lanterne attire le regard. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de l'église de San Giovani et San Paolo. La lumière donne de belles teintes aux couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hello Silvio, I love these types of shots where you find a narrow alley between high buildings, which then disappear round a corner so that we become curious as to where it might lead!
I like this particular point of view where we are looking up towards the church and the bell tower.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Silvio.
Wonderful composition in this beautiful environment that keeps all the medieval atmosphere, ideal as you have framed the belfry of the church in the arch.
Very good management of both lighting and sharpness, magnificent color.
Nice job. I like, my friend.
Luis.

Hi Silvio
Lovely framing with inclusion of the green potted plant in the foreground. It's a wonderful depiction of the ye olde church within the medieval dwelling making the bell tower as an attractive feature. So much detail to feast the eye and thanks for sharing.
