| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is the top part of a life-size work of art seemingly made from local clays. It stands in the Bari airport near the entrance and its colours and simplicity really cannot be missed by anyone in that place.
The pope resides in the Vatican City, in Rome. Rome, and Italy, have been major centres for Christian pilgrimage since the Roman Empire, and Rome is commonly regarded as the "home of the Roman Catholic Church", since it is where St Peter set up the first Christian Church. Over time, the Roman Catholic Church in Italy became very important and wealthy, with numerous Italian cardinals, popes and religious scholars.
Owing to the Italian Renaissance, church art in Italy is quite extraordinary, including the works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Fra Carnevale (priest and artist), Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Sandro Botticelli, Tintoretto, Titian, Raphael, Giotto, etc.

Oh my and you've done a fine job in capturing it. Wow. Outstanding light and contrast, great color, mad good detail and an excellent close crop. I love that 3-D effect. Man, that's a nice shot! Many thanks and warm wishes,
Shelly
