Saint Peter's Basilica

Saint Peter's Basilica is one of the most iconic landmarks in Rome, Italy. It is a magnificent church that was built in the 16th century and is considered one of the holiest Catholic shrines in the world. The basilica is a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike, as it offers a plethora of stunning photography locations. From the grand entrance to the ornate interiors, every corner of the basilica is a photographer's dream. The dome of the basilica is also a popular spot for photographers, as it offers a breathtaking view of the city of Rome.

Here's the typical photo of the Vatican one has to take when visiting Rome :-) I didn't get a colorful sunset that evening, but the blue hour as usual didn't dissapoint and once all the city lights went on it looked quite magical.

Also, if you have a few minutes and are interested in post processing, my newest youtube tutorial about advanced masking and selections in photoshop might be of interest for you.

La Piazza San Pietro es el lugar en el que se alza la Basílica, desde cuya cúpula, diseñada por Miguel Angel, se obtiene una maravillosa panorámica de la misma plaza y de la ciudad. Patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 1980.

Una cartolina notturna (Roma)
St. Peter's Basilica and St. Angelo Bridge
by Salvatore Petrantoni

Il Ponte S.Angelo ed il cupolone in un quadretto da cartolina. Lo ammetto, ho visto quest'inquadratura tra le migliori "viste" di Roma e così l'ho cercata; ho studiato cartine, mappe ed inquadrature e così nell'ultima notte di permanenza a Roma finalmente l'ho trovata e lo spettaccolo che mi si parava davanti potete vederlo anche voi.

Che sonno a far la guardia...
