La iglesia de Trinità dei Monti es una iglesia de Roma, muy conocida por su privilegiada ubicación en el centro histórico de la ciudad.
Su nombre completo es Santissima Trinità al Monte Pincio (Santísima Trinidad en el Monte Pincio). Domina el paisaje urbano de la famosa Piazza di Spagna, pues se enclava en la cima de sus escalinatas.
La primera parte de la iglesia fue construida entre 1502 y 1519 en estilo Gótico; la parte más antigua, cubierta de bóvedas de crucería ojivales, está delimitada por una verja de bronce. A la nave gótica se añadió, a mediados del siglo XVI, un nuevo edificio con una fachada adornada de dos campanarios simétricos, obra de Giacomo della Porta y Domenico Fontana. La iglesia fue consagrada en 1585 por Sixto V.
En una de las primeras capillas Daniele da Volterra pintó en 1541 un célebre ciclo de frescos, entre los que se encuentra la bellísima Asunción, unánimemente considerada una de las obras maestras del Manierismo. La octava capilla derecha (cappella Massimo) conserva un ciclo de frescos de Perin del Vaga (Historia del Antiguo y del Nuevo Testamento; 1537), completado entre 1563 y 1589 por Taddeo y Federico Zuccari. En origen la iglesia conservaba también una pala de Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. En el convento cabe destacar la Galleria prospettica, con frescos de Andrea Pozzo, con un singular ejemplo de anamorfosis; y la Stanza delle rovine, de finales del siglo XVIII, con frescos cuya sensibilidad apunta ya al Romanticismo, obra del artista francés Charles-Louis Clerisseau.
El área sobre la que fue edificada la iglesia fue donada por el rey de Francia Carlos VIII a la Orden de los Mínimos de San Francisco de Paula. Así, toda la zona de la Trinità dei Monti fue, a partir del siglo XVI, un área de influencia francesa. La celebérrima escalinata de la Piazza di Spagna, inaugurada por Benedicto XIII en 1725, fue realizada por Alessandro Specchi con financiación francesa, para celebrar la paz entre Francia y España, conectando así la plaza española (que debe su nombre a la embajada ibérica) con la iglesia francesa. A un lado de la escalinata se divisa la Villa Médicis, sede de la Academia Francesa en Roma. Los dos relojes de la iglesia señalan uno la hora de Roma, y otro la de París. Esta iglesia, como la del conjunto dedicado a San Luis de los Franceses, pertenece a los Establecimientos Piadosos de Francia en Roma y Loreto (Pieux Établissements de la France à Rome et à Lorette). A este título, la propiedad, la gestión y el mantenimiento de este edificio corren a cargo del Estado francés.
Delante de la Trinità dei Monti, a finales del siglo XVIII, el papa Pío VI hizo erigir el Obelisco Salustiano, el último de los grandes obeliscos alzados por la Roma papal, realizado en época romana imperial a imitación de los obeliscos egipcios.

In 1494, Saint Francis of Paola, a hermit from Calabria, bought a vineyard from the papal scholar and former patriarch of Aquileia, Ermolao Barbaro, and then obtained the authorization from Pope Alexander VI to establish a monastery for the Minimite Friars. In 1502, Louis XII of France began construction of the church of the Trinità dei Monti next to this monastery, to celebrate his successful invasion of Naples. Building work began in a French style with pointed late Gothic arches, but construction lagged.[citation needed]
The present Italian Renaissance church was eventually built in its place and finally consecrated in 1585 by the great urbanizer Pope Sixtus V, whose via Sistina connected the Piazza della Trinità dei Monti (outside the church) to the Piazza Barberini across the city. The architect of the facade is not known for certain, but Wolfgang Lotz suggests that it may have originated in a design by Giacomo della Porta (a follower of Michelangelo), who had built the church of Sant'Atanasio dei Greci, which has similarities, a little earlier.[1] The double staircase in front of the church was by Domenico Fontana.
The church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti, often called merely the Trinità dei Monti (French: La Trinité-des-Monts), is a Roman Catholic late Renaissance titular church in Rome, central Italy. It is best known for its position above the Spanish Steps which lead down to the famous Piazza di Spagna. The church and its surrounding area (including the Villa Medici) are a French State property.
In front of the church stands the Obelisco Sallustiano, one of the many obelisks in Rome, moved here in 1789. It is a Roman obelisk in imitation of Egyptian ones, originally constructed in the early years of the Roman Empire for the Gardens of Sallust near the Porta Salaria.[3] The hieroglyphic inscription was copied from that on the obelisk in the Piazza del Popolo known as Flaminio Obelisk.
During the Napoleonic occupation of Rome, the church, like many others, was despoiled of its art and decorations. In 1816, after the Bourbon restoration, the church was restored at the expense of Louis XVIII.
The inscriptions found in Santissima Trinità dei Monti, a valuable source illustrating the history of the church, have been collected and published by Vincenzo Forcella.
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #47 "Illustrate a book title" these are serrano and Thai chiles, both red and green to go on the cover of "The Devil's Dinner, a gastronomic and cultural history of chili peppers" by Stuart Walton. I should note that his use of "chili peppers is incorrect, anything referring to the plant or the pod itself should be spelled chile. The term chili should be only used to refer to a stew making use of chiles. This was borne out by extensive research on the internet, where, as we all know, everything is correct.
All the compositions in the vestibule of the church are devoted to the theme of the Last Judgment. From Old Slavonic, this is translated as "last", "final judgment of God". The composition in the Kirillov Church is the oldest and most detailed depiction of the scenes of the Judgment in ancient Russian art of the 12th century, which has been preserved in the form of frescoes. But in the temple, the image has reached our days in fragments. Most of these paintings are restorations of the 19th century. One fresco illustrates the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in hell, described in the Gospel of Luke, and the other - scenes from the torments of hell.
Усі композиції у притворі церкви присвячені тематиці страшного суду. Зі старослов'янської це перекладається, як "останній", "остаточний суд Божий". Композиція в Кирилівській церкві найдавніша і найбільш детально зображує сцени Суду в давньоруському мистецтві XII століття, що збереглося у вигляді фресок. Але у храмі зображення дійшло до наших днів фрагментарно. Більшість цих розписів – реставрація XIX століття.
Одна фреска ілюструє притчу про багатія і Лазаря у пеклі, описану в Євангелії від Луки, а інша – сцени з пекельних мук.
An unidentified class 47/8 in Virgin livery passes Bradwell Sidings signal box with 1o16, the 1230 Glasgow Central to Poole service.
Living near Bournemouth, many of my local photographs from 1998 featured these Virgin Cross Country services: the coaching stock, as illustrated here was a mix of InterCity executive and the then new Virgin liveried mark 2s. On paper, the locomotives were as illustrated here, but substitutions of hired in Fragonset or freight locomotives were not uncommon.
Bradwell Sidings was built by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1889, and was closed in 2002. The sidings opposite the signal box were operated by Esso, and at the time of my photograph were served by a weekly train of LPG from Fawley in Hampshire. Another freight terminal was out of sight just beyond the ‘box: this was the Carless Solvents site that received traffic from the refinery at Harwich.
At the time of writing (January 2023), the former Esso sidings are back in use for aggregate recycling. The location is now known as Longport Pinnox Branch sidings.
These are the days by the sparkling river...

I asked if I could take a photo while he read and he readily agreed. I didn't stare at the specific tattoos until I put it into my computer. Wow! Each body section tells a different story. Look at large view. On weekdays he blends with all the other commuters from San Francisco to a Palo Alto tech job.
'Railways Illustrated - Annual Photographic Awards' arrives from Pendleton as the working 6H43 which had left on time at 06.46.
The Midland Railway mainline which used to connect Manchester with London via Derby is in the foreground. These days it runs to Buxton via Topley Pike and is used by trains heading for Dowlow Quarry which have to reverse direction near the station to head south east partly along the Cromford and High Peak line.
0K98 time again, today seen at Strines. Just a measly six Freightliner locos made their way from Earles Sidings to Basford Hall today, namely 66603, 66620, 66604, 70007, 66618 'Railways Illustrated Annual Photographic Awards Alan Barnes' & 70017.
This image illustrates the Bristol VRL concept to its best advantage. Placing the engine longitudinally on the offside beyond the rear axle not only simplified the driveline but also enabled a rear entrance or exit to be fitted. One downside was that a long rear-overhang was required, which wouldn't have been acceptable on shorter chassis. I suspect that there may also have been some weight distribution issues. This is a 36 foot VRL-LL (vertical rear longitudinal-engine, long low chassis), a type that was offered but not actually built. Some very similar 36-foot dual-door (front and rear) buses were built for the South African municipality of Johannesburg on the marginal higher VRL-LH chassis. The bodies for these were built locally by Bus Bodies (SA) to a very neat design with equal-length side windows. My version uses standard ECW windows bays with an awkward half-bay at the rear, as fitted to various bodies built by that concern. I've finished it as a demonstrator for the South African market, incorporating the unusual low-mounted route number characteristic of the Johannesburg fleet. (01-May-10).

Nowhere is the power and beauty of the Roman arch better illustrated than in the massive vaults of the Puente Romano in Mérida, Spain. This bridge was built around 25 B.C. The longest of the remaining Roman bridges, it reaches over 2,000 feet across the Guadiana River.

Same alley as before from the other side of Center Street. Again it was the sun that caught my eye here and resulted in the click of the shutter.

Waterfilm is a series filmed since 2012 based on the idea of filming with a freehand camera for a period of exactly one minute. This series illustrates the meditative qualities of water in an urban environment. It is my belief that the close observation of this essential element has the ability to influence our perceptions. Each film is intended to be a short meditation – take your time to feel it, but don’t swim away too far...
