Dettagli di piazza San Pietro - Street photography
Alcune foto per il #marblecontest di @frankiecur.
Quasi per caso, girovagando per Roma, sono finita a San Pietro in tarda serata. La basilica stava chiudendo, ma sono riuscita a fare qualche foto al colonnato. In questa prima foto, una piccola "coincidenza" notata dal mio punto di vista, e spuntata tra le colonne monolitiche di marmo: "I can", piccolo incoraggiamento anglofono sicuramente estratto dalla parola "Vaticano".
La piazza fu studiata e progettata dal Bernini nel XVII secolo, tenendo conto di un meticoloso simbolismo religioso voluto dal Papa, dalla posizione degli edifici preesistenti e da quella che avrebbe dovuto essere la funzione finale della piazza. Il risultato fu un colonnato a trabeazione intorno ad una piazza ovale.
Il Bernini, calibrando la struttura tra calcoli geometrici ed illusioni prospettiche, progettò la disposizione delle colonne allineandole sui raggi dell'ellisse, il cui centro è identificato da una celebre piastrella rotonda sul pavimento della piazza. Uno spettatore che attraversa la piazza avrà così l'effetto ottico delle colonne che si aprono e si chiudono, ingegnosamente voluto e pianificato ad hoc.
Details of St. Peter's Square - Street photography
Some photos for #marblecontest by @frankiecur.
By chance, wandering around Rome, I ended up by St. Peter's in the late evening. The basilica was closing, but I managed to take some pictures of the colonnade. This first picture is a small "coincidence" noticed from my point of view, that popped up between the monolithic marble columns: "I can", a little anglophone encouragement certainly an extract from the word "Vatican".
The square was designed by Bernini in the seventeenth century, taking into account the meticulous religious symbolism wanted by the Pope, the position of the pre-existing buildings and what should have been the final function of the square. The result was a trabeated colonnade around an oval square.
Bernini, calibrating the structure with geometric calculations and perspective illusions, designed the arrangement of the columns by aligning them on the radii of the ellipse, which center is identified by the famous round tile in the floor of the square. A spectator who crosses the square will thus have the optical effect of the columns opening and closing, ingeniously planned ad hoc.

Nel riflesso di una pozza, creata semplicemente da una fontanella sotto al colonnato, è possibile scorgere il capitello di ordine tuscanico, che sorregge uno spesso architrave dalla cornice marmorea. Non so nulla sull'origine dei lampadari, ma paiono realizzati in ghisa.
In the reflection of a puddle, easily generated by a fountain under the colonnade, it is possible to see the Tuscan-style capital, which supports a thick architrave with a marble frame. I know nothing about the origin of the chandeliers, but they seem to be made of cast iron.
