Piazza del Duomo
È il barocco a dominare nella centrale Piazza Duomo. Questo grande cortile, poi modificato, risale al tempo del vescovo Gerolamo Guidano. Ad esso si accede attraverso i propilei, realizzati verso la fine del XVIII secolo da Emanuele Manieri, essendo stati abbattuti gli originali muri d'ingresso.
Piazza Duomo è uno dei rari esempi di "piazza chiusa". Un tempo, la sera le porte, delle quali ancora oggi sono visibili gli imponenti mozzi, venivano serrate. Che si tratti di un chiaro esempio di barocco è evidente anche dalla soluzione a dir poco teatrale della "falsa facciata". Il visitatore che entra in Piazza Duomo si trova di fronte una facciata di chiesa, che solo ad una attenta visione si rileva "posticcia". E' sufficiente varcare la soglia del portale per ritrovarsi nella navata laterale della Chiesa. La cattedrale non accoglie, dunque, di fronte il visitatore, ma si trova collocata, rispetto all'ingresso della Piazza, in modo parallelo. La soluzione scenografica venne adottata per evitare che il visitatore si trovasse di fronte ad un muro piatto e senza decori.
L'architetto leccese, che si adoperò per armonizzare l'arredo urbano, realizzò, ai lati dei propilei, i palazzi gemelli che, entrambi al piano terreno, palesano arcature a bugne lisce, oggi in parte chiuse o trasformate in porte e finestre. A sinistra della piazza si erge imponente il campanile, opera di Giuseppe Zimbalo, mentre al centro la cattedrale e, in posizione più arretrata, l'episcopio. Sulla destra, infine, si trova il seminario.

Hello Silvio,

Fantastique vue, le format est superbe avec cette belle band enoire et la douceur sur les lumières du fond, grandiose.

bravo et maitié

Hi Silvio.
Great shot of the 'blue hour', looks like you made good use of the available light. The vertical crop works well here, I find it's best viewed by pressing F11 on the keyboard. The guy in the FG makes a good silhouette, and there seems to be no obvious distortion from the wide angle lens. Well done.

TFS,
Scott.

hello Silvio
how are you friend?
interesting evening shot
is the blue sky natural? or used any filter
fine vertical composition and good details
fine light and shade
regards
Manuj Mehta

Hi Silvio,
A clever use of the blue hour in this capture with a marvelous blue sky and a mixture of artificial lighting!
Nice details on the building!
I accept the vertical format, but I would crop some of the bottom of the shot....too much pavement!
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Hi Silvio,

Interesting shot taken during the blue hour, I've posted one today as well :)


The vertical composition, along with the framing provided by the buildings on each side makes for a very nice capture. The lights are beautiful. TFS

Best regards,
Werner

Hello Silvio,
it's wonderful! The lights create a magic or a fairy tale like atmosphere. Very well capture with a complete control over exposure.

Cisao Silvio,

Ciao Silvio. Grande ora blu con "inserti in oro". Mi spiace per gli amici ma TL -almeno quella che cancella i ragazzi che non hanno fatto nulla- non merita queste meraviglie.

Olá Silvio,
Além de toda a beleza da cena, há uma magnífica profundidade resultante das paralelas.
Excelente mostra.

dear Silvio,
this light and colors are so beautiful and atmospheric,
the night feeling there is well captured in your original composition.
deep blue sky and dark stone ground make the arch-building shining and impressive.
thank you for your excellent shot,

Wonderful warm cold colour contrasts, between the blue sky & fg pavement, and the section of pale yellow wall, that is illuminated by the sun. Good sharpness, & the people add scale to the piazza. Tfs!

I am a bit confused and frustrated with the politics of TL. So sorry to learn about what happened to the redrubins.

Ciao Silvio,

I love how you have used the blue hour to such great effect. The colours and the shadows work in perfect harmony. Fine clarity ... no noise!
I like the way your pov makes the building almost frame itself.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great time of day to shoot this shot. The different lights provide pastel tones which contrast nicely with the blue sky and shadowed courtyard. The beams of light shining across the courtyard add a sense of depth. All in all a very nice shot.
warm regards
David

Molto bella sia per i colori che per il POV!
Mi piace proprio

Ciao Silvio,

la foto è senz'altro bella ma a mio parere avrei tagliato un pò del pavimento nero. A giudicare dai consensi che hai avuto questa mia idea non sembra condivisa...

Bonjour Sylvio,

A la tombée du jour tu nous offres un joli cliché de cet édifice joliment éclairé et sous un ciel encore d'un bleu sans nuages!!!

Ciao Silvio,
trovo che il selciato che hai ripreso sia troppo, per cui lo taglierei. Otterrei così un formato quasi quadrato che risulterebbe meno pesante nel suo insieme.
