Vigevano, a photo from Pavia, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

Vigevano is a town and comune in the province of Pavia, Lombardy in northern Italy. An historic art town, it is also renowned for shoemaking and is one of the main centres of Lomellina, a rice-growing agricultural district. Vigevano received the honorary title of city with a decree of Duke Francis II Sforza on February 2, 1532. It is famed for its beautiful Renaissance "Piazza Ducale" in the centre of the town.

Vigevano is crowned by the Castello Sforzesco, a stronghold rebuilt 149294 for Ludovico Maria Sforza (Ludovico il Moro), the great patron born in the town, who transformed the fortification/hunting lodge of Luchino Visconti (who in turn had re-used a Lombard fortress) into a rich noble residence, at the cusp of Gothic and Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was his guest at Vigevano, as was Bramante, who is ascribed with the tall tower that watches over the piazza from the Castello Sforzesco. The old castle has a unique raised covered road, high enough for horsemen to ride through, that communicates between the new palace and the old fortifications; there is a Falconry, an elegant loggiato supported by 48 columns, and, in the rear area of the mastio, the Ladies' Loggia made for Duchess Beatrice d'Este.''

Bonjour, cher Alessandro,
Je comprends que cela attire beaucoup de gens ŕ voir les lieux trčs agréables. S'allonger dans l'herbe, regarder l'architecture environnante ou le ciel, quoi de plus sympathique.
Belle réalisation.
Amitiés.

Buongiorno Alessandro,
As I see many youngsters on the green lawn, this must be a university ground's, and those are taking advantage of a beautiful shiny day.
Chosen well the perspective, nicely included the clock-tower.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Hello Alessandro,
Such a fine view over the green lawn where people are enjoying a sunny day in different ways. The surrounding trees and buildings make a nice background. The church tower is well placed in the composition.

BOnjour Alessandro,

Cette composition sent le printemps. Le bonheur de s'étendre sur une pelouse qui sent bon et de se faire chauffer par le soleil. Un superbe parc, vu d'un point de vue parfait avec ce beau clocher en prime.

Bon samedi

Serge

Ciao Alessandro ,
I can see on this picture that Italy has a warmest climate than the northern part of France ; especially this year . In my region , a lot of trees are not yet green , what is rather unusual at the end of april .
A beautiful view of the park where enjoy the spring sun , with interesting buildings in teh BG , and the bell tower emerging of the greenery in a perfect blue sky .
Regards

Hello Alessandro,
Lombardia is surely having beautiful spring weather and the people enjoy it to the fullest in the park. This while it still remains very cold in my country. Furthermore, not all trees here with us have already a full foliage like in Vigevano.
An attractive composition of this spring picture with the different groups of visitors spread over the grass field and with the buildings and the churchtower surrounding the park.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Alessandro
A great place and lots of green to kill the time, the composition is excellent showing the sheer scale of the church blessed by such a brilliant sunshine and rich colours. Peoples' presence hold the eyes and this sums up a very relaxing springtime scene beautifully. Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Alessandro,

Your picture cares for quiet and nice panorama view about the meadow.
Also the church tower in background makes your pictufe attractive.
But I find your picture very quiet and pleasant to look at..
Sharpness and clarity are perfect taken.
Very well composition and nice presentation too.
Nice done, TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.
