I made a promise not to post a kissing couple, and not bw😉
Can't remember what square this was, maybe someone will help me with that?
Prinzipiell ist es das gleiche Ausgangsmaterial wie bei der gleichnamigen SW-Aufnahme bei "loudstone" allerdings ist der Richtansatz komplett anderst und auch die Bearbeitung ist mit einer anderen Software erfolgt. Der Blick nach oben beginnt in einer seitlichen Ädikula. Links und rechts befinden sich die Seitenkapellen. Die komplexe Hauptkuppel des Zentralraumes in der oberen Bildmitte teilt die Orgelempore rechts und links den Bogen zum Presbyterium.
Außerdem bedanke ich mich beim Aufsichtspersonal, das mir große Aufnahmefreiheiten einräumte.
Ich möchte auch hier das Architekturgenie Guarino Guarini würdigen, einem Theatinerpater aus Modena der sich 1666 in Turin niederließ und für das Haus Savoyen verschiedene Bauwerke konzipierte. Dieser Sakralbau ist eigentlich nur die architektonische Vorstufe für Grabtuchkapelle des Turiner Domes. Sie wird auch auf diesem Stream zu sehen sein.
Guarini war ein weit gereister Mann (Italien, Spanien,Frankreich und Mitteleuropa) der seine gewonnenen Eindrücke sehr wohl in seinen Bauwerken und Traktaten einzusetzen wußte. Sein Einfluß auf die weitere Entwicklung des Barocks in Süddeutschland und Österreich ist nicht zu unterschätzen.
Cette vue de Turin est prise du haut du musée du Cinéma où un magnifique panorama s'offre au visiteur. On distingue la Piazza Castello au centre.
Le musée national du cinéma (italien : Museo Nazionale del Cinema - Fondazione Maria Adriana Prolo) est un musée consacré à l'histoire du cinéma italien et international situé dans le centre historique de Turin, en Piémont. Fondé en 1953, il s'agit du musée le plus fréquenté de Turin, berceau du cinéma national, et aussi le plus grand consacré au septième art en Europe.
TURIN

Hier nun der gerade Blick nach oben aus der Mitte des Zentralraumes.
Ein in romanischer Zeit erwähnter Kirchenbau wurde nach Übergabe an den Orden der Theatiner (1634) für einen Neubau abgerissen. Dieser kam bis 1661 nur schleppend voran, so dass 1666 der Theatinerpater Guarino Guarini an das Projekt berufen wurde. Der gelehrte Philosoph, Mathematiker und Architekt stammte aus dem nahen Modena, hatte aber schon in Messina gebaut und die iberische Halbinsel bereist, von wo er Anregungen aus der islamischen Architektur aufnahm, die dann deutliche Auswirkungen auf seine in Turin realisierten Entwürfe hatten. Nach einem erneuten Abbruch des bis dahin Gebauten begannen 1667 die Arbeiten gemäß Guarinis Plänen. Die Kirche wurde 1680 geweiht. Bau der Fassade, des Chors (1730) und Ausstattungsarbeiten zogen sich aber noch bis ins 18. Jahrhundert hin. Der Theatinerkonvent wurde 1802 aufgelöst.
Ecco ora la vista diritta verso l'alto dal centro della sala centrale.
Un edificio di culto menzionato in epoca romanica fu demolito per una nuova costruzione dopo essere stato ceduto all'Ordine dei Teatini (1634). I lavori procedettero lentamente fino al 1661, cosicché nel 1666 il sacerdote teatino Guarino Guarini fu incaricato del progetto. Il dotto filosofo, matematico e architetto era originario della vicina Modena, ma aveva già costruito a Messina e viaggiato nella penisola iberica, da dove trasse ispirazione per l'architettura islamica, che ebbe poi un chiaro impatto sui suoi progetti realizzati a Torino. Dopo un'ulteriore demolizione di ciò che era stato costruito fino a quel momento, i lavori iniziarono nel 1667 secondo i progetti di Guarini. La chiesa fu consacrata nel 1680. La costruzione della facciata, del coro (1730) e degli arredi proseguì fino al XVIII secolo. Il convento dei Teatini fu sciolto nel 1802.

Turin is well known for its renaissance, baroque, rococo, neo-classical, and art nouveau architecture.
Much of the city's public squares, castles, gardens and elegant palazzi, were built in the 16th and 18th century, after the capital of the Duchy of Savoy (later Kingdom of Sardinia) was moved to Turin from Chambery (nowadays France) as part of the urban expansion.
The Castle of Valentino (Italian Castello del Valentino) is an historic building in the north-west Italian city of Turin. It is located in Parco del Valentino, and is the seat of the Architecture Faculty of the Polytechnic University of Turin.
It is one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997.
"That dwelling was named Menegroth, the Thousand Caves... The pillars of Menegroth were hewn in the likeness of the beeches of Oromë, stock, bough, and leaf, and they were lit with lanterns of gold. The nightingales sang there as in the gardens of Lórien; and there were fountains of silver, and basins of marble, and floors of many-coloured stones. Carven figures of beasts and birds there ran upon the walls, or climbed upon the pillars, or peered among the branches entwined with many flowers... But Túrin and his companions passing through great perils came at last to the borders of Doriath; and there they were found by Beleg Strongbow, chief of the marchwardens of King Thingol, who led them to Menegroth. Then Thingol received Túrin, and took him even to his own fostering, in honour of Húrin the Steadfast; for Thingol’s mood was changed towards the houses of the Elf-friends."
