napoli Palazzo Donn'Anna b/n

Long day no see. Hope all is well. This one is fantastic and a good choice of B/W. Nice details and the clarity. Magical processing.

All the best. Warm regards.

Finalmente!... Bentornata Rita! Bella sequenza! Questa é la mia preferita in assoluto.

Thank you friends! Ben ritrovati:)))

The building is on the site of the so-called "Rocks of the Siren" and,

indeed, was originally called "La Villa Sirena". It changed hands a

number of times and finally was inherited in 1630 by the woman whose

name it now bears, Anna Stigilano, who then married the Spanish

viceroy of Naples. She had the building redone by the great architect,

Cosimo Fanzago, in the 1640s and, since that time, the building has

been called Villa Donn'Anna. Thanks for viewing.

Bravo Rita!

Cheers!

Wonderful composition and right choice of  B/W medium for presentation.

Beautiful composition. An attractive image with an informative write-up. Best regards.

Rita...I love the image and the history lesson.  Thanks for sharing.

I like this...wonderful tones and textures and nice job highlighting the beautiful archetectural details of this grand building.  It has been a while since I've spent time with my PN friends...I hope to check back more frequently.  Take care.  Jeff.
