Un aire venecià al Garraf / A Venetian air in the Catalan coast

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Fotografia feta amb la Hasselblad SWC, fabricada el 1976; pel·licula Fomapan 100.

 

Façana barroca de l'església de Sant Antoni Abat, a Vilanova i la Geltrú. Em recorda molt a bona part de les esglésies venecianes, amb aquestes grans columnes i el frontó. Molt probablement el meu avi matern fou bategat aquí, ja que va neixer molt a prop.

Per cert, fa poques hores s'ha mort el Papa Francesc.

=================================================

 

Picture taken with a Hasselblad SWC, made in 1976; Fomapan 100 film.

 

The main baroque façade of Sant Antoni Abat church, in Vilanova i la Geltrú. It's style reminds me a lot of the Venetian churches.

 

Most probably my grandfather was baptized here, as he was born just a couple of streets away, in early XX Century.

By the way, early this very morning the Pope Francis died in the Vatican.
