Cremona - a photo on Flickriver

Cremona

            La Piazza del Comune a Cremona rappresenta uno degli esempi meglio conservati in Italia di spazio pubblico medioevale. 
E’ chiusa su tre lati dagli edifici simbolo del potere religioso e civile della città: il Duomo (XII sec.) con la sua torre campanaria (chiamata il Torrazzo, alto 111m), il Battistero (XII sec.), la Loggia dei Militi (non visibile in foto) e il Palazzo Comunale (sulla destra).
La piazza è situata nel punto più alto della città e ad essa convergono numerose vie, secondo il tipico schema urbanistico medioevale. 
Non è una piazza molto ampia, per cui se si vuole riprendere i suoi monumenti bisogna affidarsi ad un supergrandangolo con la conseguente distorsione di immagine.

----------

Cremona is a town in Northern Italy famous for being the country of the violin. 
But Cremona is also a town with interesting buildings from the Middle Age which surround the “Town Hall Square”:  the Cathedral with the bell tower “Torrazzo” (XII cent.), the Baptistery (same age), the Soldiers’s Loggia (not visible in the photo) and the Town Hall Palace on the right.
Several roads converge to the Square, according to the Middle Age style. 
This Square is not so much wide, so if you want take a shot it is necessary to use a very wide angle lens, with the consequent distortion.
