Italy.

A very nicely composed shot, Maurizio!

Che bella composizione, ha iniziato a imparare l'italiano? Bella lingua, la lingua  più bella del mondo di tutti i tempi! Posso dirti perché io una volta ha parlato bene, quando ero un bambino! E io ero un ragazzino molto intelligente! Ciaomau!

Hello Maurizio,

I love pictures with two focal points, just like this one.  The book, and the picture on the right.  Good choice of BW.  I only find it a pity that the text on the book is not completely in focus.  Maybe that is because of the conversion to jpg. 

Nevertheless once again a strong picture.  Congratulations.

Ben

Nice work my friend! Best regards, Ilkka

Yo adoro la Lingua Italiana. Hugs my dear Maurizio.

Makes me want to come and visit, 

Kind Regards Giovanni. 

Hi Maurizio

This is an esquisit composition, very beautifull. You managed to present a small part of italian history. Makes want to visit Italy again. 

Best regards my friend. Cosmin

Interessante ed intrigante - bella la pulizia dello scatto ottima la luce. Complimenti Mau!

So much been said here and this image if such high quality lighting and composition do deserve it all, the skilled thoughts of the b/w format and the superbly maintained contras and tone are also a great credit to this image.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Quite original and very effective composition. Nicely done!

La diversidad del idioma es un tesoro cultural,  lo importante es siempre la comunicacion. Excelente trabajo, enhorabuena, un abrazo. Vicente.

Very nice MM!

Un eccellente omaggio al nostro paese. Ricordare la nostra lingua, la nostra cultura, la nostra arte serve a riaffermare la nostra dignità e la nostra identità logorate da chi ha trasformato il nostro governo in un bordello. Speriamo in un rapido cambiamento. Scusa le considerazioni civiche :) Comunque, un'ottimo scatto! Ciao :)

Maurizio, I do not want to repeat what others have commented , appreciating this image. I feel the Tourism Department of Italy may request you to permit this image for publication in their brochure. Admirable composition and choice of tones.

Maurizio, in addition to what has already been said, I like the old bindings of the books and wish I read Italian so I knew what they were. 

Interesting and original composition Maurizio!!! I love the appearance of the old books on the right, they appear so old and worn, many have read these  volumes. Well done! most sincerely, Gail

Beautiful ensemble of Italy, with a bit of Venice sight and history/language books. Very well composed and lighted.

Well done!

Take care,

Mário

Very clever work..I like what you have done here...Regards
