Just 1/250sec of 800 years

2007.07.21
Canon Eos 350D - 1/250 Sec - F10 - ISO100. Lens:Canon EF17-40USM@40mm

Piazza del Popolo, Ascoli Piceno, Italy
Angolo lato nord, Chiesa di San Francesco (1200)



"Chiude la piazza sul lato Nord il bellissimo fianco della gotica chiesa di San Francesco (1262 - 1371), che si eleva alto e schietto come una fortezza, tutto percorso da forti costoloni che lo serrano più fitti là dove si incurvano le absidi a raggiera e il cui slancio si prolunga nei due esili e spogli campaniletti pentagonali, simili a torri di vedetta"

"The wonderful side of the gothic church of San Francesco closes the city square by the north side, standing high and straightforward as a fortress, all crossed by strong ribs which densely lock it in the point where the apse go bend like a set of rays and the burst extend itself toward two thin and naked pentagonal steeples, that look like watchtowers"
