Administration with Style (RSM Mix) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Two days ago I showed you the Palace of local administration in Italian Montepulciano and Korkut mentionned he first had believed the picture was from San Marino.

So for Korkut and to be complete on this subject, here is the RSM version of the Administration palazzo, called the Palazzo Pubblico. It is the administrative center of the San Marino city, but because we operate here at country level in this tiny republic, it is also the official government building of the "Serenissima Repubblica di San Marino". To mark this highest level of administrative importance, the Palazzo is guarded day and night by the impressive local army forces, I wish i could have had such a nice uniform when I was in the army...

This elegant building is not as old as its italian counterparts, it was actually built between 1884 and 1894 on the site of a formerly existing "Domus Magna Comunis", however it is obvious here that the style inspiration came from the rich medieval history of San Marino.

Another amazing and very well crafted image with sharp and crisp colours, good textures and tones. I like the pov here and the overall composition.

Salut Jean-Yves,

nous sommes -presque- voisins en ce dernier jour de la semaine...

Joli palais sous une forte lumière et petite esplanade remplie de touristes... Le fait de n'apercevoir qu'un tout petit bout de la vue à l'extrême gauche est un peu frustrant... mais il faut faire des choix. :)

Bonne journée et bon week-end,

Loïc

:)... this one looks waaay too small compared to the one in montepulciano... but i believe they both have similar features... in fact, i ve been to san marino in 1993 when i was an exchange student in bologna, and visited this palazzo also... beautiful "country"... thanks for the info jean yves...

regards

korkut

Salut Jean-Yves,
Superbe image d'un de tes nombreux voyages. Habituellement, tu fréquentes les régions viticoles à en croire tes images de vignes... Mais tu es très à ton aise en milieu urbain aussi, je vois!
Amitiés

Hello Jean-Yves,
A very nicely lit composition with some good animation. I like the point of view and the framing from the wall on the left; the man leaning on the wall and watching the scene is a nice bonus. Very good colours and clarity.

Hello Jean-Yves,

Une belle lumière sur ce monumental batiment !
La présence de touriste met de la vie dans cette image ! La perspective créée par la façade de droite est très intéressante et permet de plonger sur ce palais !
Le fait que l'on devine la vue est assez étrange ! Mais ne me dérange pas outre mesure ! La lisibilité de l'image est de toute façon très bonne !

That was a perfect day when you visited San Marino - the sky was such a deep blue and the air so clear. Another great shot of this tiny country with the beautiful architecture. I like that building and the tower especially - Excellent work to bring it to us!

Salut Jean Yves,
La place type pour attirer les touristes qui apportent une note très pittoresque à cette vue dont on apprécie en plus l'architecture de style italen.
On ressent bien la chaleur et l'intense luminosité qui donne ces couleurs très chaudes.
Amicalement
Jean-Luc
