Palazzo dei Valenti, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Palazzo dei Valenti
The Valenti were the most illustrious family of Trevi, in addition to the building in the center of Tervi, whose portal I showed you yesterday, they had another one in the lower area, also impressive. The second Palazzo Valenti is located in the Piaggia di Trevi; it was built in the sixteenth century and completely transformed in the following century.
The branch of the Counts of Rivosecco was the oldest and most illustrious of the large family; it had its tombs in San Francesco, so in ancient times they were distinguished from others also with the nickname of Valenti “di San Francesco.

Ciao Silvio

The fg arch provides a wonderful frame over the pathway leading to the bg Palazzo dei Valenti. Good sharpness and a nice blue sky backdrop. Tfs!

Hello Silvio,
You show us another fine composition in your well known style. You included the coat of arms nicely above the arch that frames the view of the street and the elegant building. I like the contrast of this white building and the grey walls closer to us. Superb sharpness and exposure as usual.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Silvio,
I just realised that all fountains in this town could be called "Fountain di Trevi" like the famous fountain in Rome.
Great capture here. The arched framing adds a nice touch, also the color of the sky introduces more life to the scene.
Very attractive geometry,
M

Ciao caro Silvio,

This is a really well composed photograph.
Again, you have found a very useful archway to frame our glimpse of this quite imposing house, contrasting in colours from its surroundings.
The stone pathway makes the perfect guide to the open doorway.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silvio,
A very nice view up this gently sloping street. The shaded foreground with the gate created a really nice contrast with the brightly sunlit, white houses. Well captured with good exposure and sharpness.

Hi Silvio
That's great shooting point with the arch as if inviting us into the whole shot. The brightly lit building is a vital point to rest the eye. It's a unique medieval dwelling thoughtfully taken.
Best regards
