A trip in Italy, Sept.–Oct. 2021
[While I upload photos from 2020, I am also trying to keep up with some of my more current works by uploading a couple of photographs every day, in the afternoon or evening.]
In September and October 2021, we spent three weeks touring the Italian regions of Abruzzo, Umbria, Marches and Emilia-Romagna, which we hadn’t visited yet.
Personally, I had my sights firmly set on a series of early Romanesque churches of high architectural and artistic interest, so you will see quite a few of those, in spite of the typical Italian administration-related problems I encountered, and which were both stupid and quite unpleasant.
There will also be other sorts of old stones, landscapes, etc., and I hope you will enjoy looking at them and have a good time doing so. If it makes you want to go, do, by all means, Italy is a wonderful country.
These are the last photos from the Benedictine abbey church of Santa Maria del Lago, not far from the small town of Moscufo in Abruzzo. The façade is from the 1700s and quite uninteresting. However, the apse is very nice, and above all the inside is magnificent.
Frescoes like this probably covered most of the walls, as well as the columns.
