Behind the Christmas Sant'Oronzo Square, once known as "Piazza dei Mercanton" and a portrait painter in a romantic engraving of the second decade of pre-unification is located on the square Castromediano Sigismund.
Before arriving at the square, admiring the elegant Palazzo Carafa Rubichi away. Dell'cinquecentesco built on the monastery and church of the Vincentians at the behest of the bishop Sozy-Carafa, the building was completed between 1764 and 1771 by master builder and architect Emanuele Manieri Oronzo Carrozzo according to the refined language style of the period, the main facade is characterized by fine portal-central balcony designed by Lecce Ghezzi.
We come Continuing beyond the ambiguous, urban talking Castromediano square, flanked instill a few meters from the Church of Jesus built this around 1575 to house the company of many clerics established in the thirties of the sixteenth century by Ignatius of Loyola . The prospect of the Church Lecce plain and simple, takes over the "dictates" of the Roman Church of Jesus architectural engineering design reworked by Michelangelo before and then by Vignola and completed under the direction of Giacomo della Porta, the monumental building is considered the "Mother" of all the churches of the order.
the center of the square on a high pillar stands a bronze statue of the patriot cavallinese Sigismondo Castromediano who, before being accused of plotting against the Bourbon government, adhered to the ideals of Young Italy of Giuseppe Mazzini . From the high position he silently watches valuable archaeological evidence. A few years ago during the road reconstruction works on the paving of the square, have resurfaced important archaeological excavations, the whole process of recovery and valorization of the ancient ruins, led by Professor Francesco D'Andria by the team and the University Salento, was designed to re-evaluate the three archaeological phases characterized by the presence of olive oil tanks.
The excavations have brought to light, "tracks" stratigraphic due to different historical periods from the Iron Age (first century BC) to 'Age messapica (IV-V century BC) until the nineteenth century, these findings demonstrate the importance of Salento from the I century BC in the production and export of oil in the Mediterranean basin.
The best example is the archaic lacus olearius dating from Roman times to the first century BC and belonging to a set of "trappeto" after the site find a deposit dating back to olive oil Aragonese (XVI century) and finally a final deposit of the XVII. Through the placement of special "windows-observatory" can "peek at this historic tombs, however, despite enormous windows have natural ventilation, condensation and often a reflection of the lights do not allow the curious observer a clear view of the environments groundwater.

Lecce / Port San Biagio and the Roman Theatre

In this second Sunday in town along Viale Francesco Lo Re, where, at the Piazza of Italy addorme with the monument dedicated to soldiers fallen in war. It faces south gate Porta San Biagio last of the ancient city walls. Porta San Biagio was built around the first half of the sixteenth century as it was part of the reorganization program of the defensive structures, but after the demolition of the building Originally, the great arch was rebuilt in 1774 at the behest of the then governor of Terra d'Otranto Thomas Ruff.
Building "defensive", nestled between the historic residential buildings, greets us with a single, monumental arch (archway) flanked by two pairs of stout Doric columns set on massive plinths; the "Greek" entablature, the horizontal architectural element supported by columns and pillars, is classified according to the Doric style and features along the scanning of the classical frieze and metopes triglyphs, the entablature, surmounted by a carved pediment and decorated, culminating with the statue of the patron saint.
Beyond the door is prolonged because of Perroni which resides on the volume since 1667 the church of San Matteo, characterized by a smooth convex bottom side and a concave top, continuing we hardly ever noisy, at least for the night life, by Ferdinand I of Aragon (commonly known as "the way of pubs") which overlooks the elegant and architecturally unfinished church of Santa Chiara. Taking the road that runs along the right side of the church, or because of Ammirati, we meet a few yards, the nice Piazzetta Raimondello Orsini the center of which rests the minute sculptural monument to the most popular leader "of the thirteen of Barletta" that Fanfulla of Lodi. The bronze hooded man of arms shows us the path that leads the fashion show Teatro Romano.
The scenic location of the performance of tragedies and comedies in Lupiae Roman, was probably built in the first century BC, the complex was "carved" into the living mass of limestone and it is derived from the system with steps of the auditorium (area for the public). The stone structure, built with the measure useful in containing the costs of materials, was accidentally discovered in 1929 during some works from the sixteenth-century Roman palace and the palace D'Arpe. The theater could hold at least six thousand people, the auditorium measuring over 75 meters, currently keep only 12 rows of steps, the 'orchestra namely the part devoted to dance in front of the scene is completely preserved and is over 13 meters ; the scene is lost because of the adjacent convent of Santa Chiara. Part of the rich marble decorations that adorned the theater scene has been preserved in the halls of Museo Sigismondo Castromediano.
seventeenth-century buildings, which serve as the architectural setting of the auditorium at the back post, currently home to the headquarters of the Museum of the Roman theater. On this sacred place to pay off the tall bell towers of the cathedral, an image that could delay such an archaic anxiety of control and injury by the most powerful state religion against the secular culture.

Overview of the Greek Church |
P otrebbe be cold, and indeed should ... remain in Lecce, for our usual "trip" on Sunday ... Entry into the historic center of Lecce is "triumphant" because we are dealing with this monumental "Triumphal Arch" erected in honor of Emperor Charles V, facing the Obelisk Bourbon gazing it raised the twenties century. The old Porta San Giusto, now known Porta Napoli as it is built on the site of the town such entry. The main front door of Naples is oriented north-west, ie along the road leading to the city on the Gulf. The imposing building, built in 1548 by architect Giangicacomo dell'Acaya, is located in an area isolated from the center, about twenty feet high, the great access consists of a pair of strong columns ending with composite capitals supporting a triangular pediment and effigiante the arms of the Austro-English biceps supported by the eagle.
giant arch can be seen from the straight road axis of Via Principe di Savoia, continuing, we note the simple neo-classical facade of the Teatro Paisiello and a few meters later we overlook George Square Bavigli place on which is theatrically conceived pyramidal Church of Alcantarine.
arrived at the junction with Via Umberto I, which leads to the spectacular Basilica of Santa Croce, we try to avoid calling the eccentric festive "mood baroque" and imprisoned in molded shapes and volumes, and bystanders before reaching telanomi personalities and other saints.
treasured among the buildings of straw yellow color, the church of San Nicolo dei Greci better known as the Greek Church dominates lonely little square. The building was built from scratch with simple architectural lines in 1765 by a multi-project architects Francesco Lecce Palma, Marsione Lazzaro, Vincenzo Lombardo and Carrozzo. The essential facade is divided into two orders un'aggettante string course cornice and four Doric pilasters that articulate vertically prospectus. The interior has a rectangular nave has a vaulted roof, the iconostasis, which the partition of wood (or brick) is decorated with precious icons, split and divide the space dedicated to the faithful from the presbytery (space reserved for the clergy) .
The valuable architectural element is characterized by three doors, one central and two side in the middle depicts the image of the "Noli me tangere" while the side flaps keep the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The four sections of the sacred walls are decorated with eight columns supporting four semi boards with gold background in which there are icons Virgin and Child of Christ the High Priest , of San Giovanni Battista and St. Nicholas of Myra . The end of the iconostasis is accompanied by a composite theory of polychromatic stories of Christ's life and portraits of the Apostles, on top of it the minute triptych of Deesis (ie, the archetypal image of the Blessing Christ flanked by the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist ) closes the record Orthodox iconography; behind the iconostasis is the altar. present in the building meets the community of greek-Byzantine rite.
A few steps away from this little jewel in the heart of the historic liturgy is the ShuiBar the well-known haunt of the night life of Lecce, a place with a cozy atmosphere where you can assemble and enjoy the taste of the delicious traditional cuisine and tasty dishes of Salento East of sushi. Tonight the usual Sunday gathering with jam sessions and great jazz.

The salt of the host Lecce 37Art Gallery until next December 5 personal exposure by Sergio Lombardino entitled " Flashback". Warhol stated: " Pop Art is a way of loving things." The works are characterized by the Roman style elements that embrace the mythical American Pop Art " not so much with regard to its peculiar painting technique, steeped in heritage related to the art of antique restoration learned from the great skill and craft of the father, but as for the eclectic and lively reworking of the great themes of contemporary: technology, the machine, the goods, photography, comics and the urban landscape. Through a vibrant and detailed design, Lombardino offers the user a personal view of his understanding of the art "so dear to popular mass culture", clearly displays both in the snapshot view of an eccentric, rainy Sqauere Times, is in detention Heron picture of a massive locomotive of other times. His works can be understood, in my view, charming as "fragments of life" and backed up in detail, captivating views accentuate those autobiographical experiences in his glazes noir Rome, despite the drafting of that monochrome gray smoke that dirty "the painted surface, the image takes on a sentimental effect of an old-fashioned film, at times nostalgic and at the same time iconographically date, he shall draw up the color until it" age "articulating the compositional structure of the subject through a series several modulations. During the creative process, the artist uses oil that is enamel, used most often through the technique of Action Painting, along with the mix of special effects on the background of the painting made with the use of old newspapers, and the dripping, being the "drip", marking the conclusion of the "process" artistic Lombarino. Warhol in the aphorism can read the meaning of the artist's Capitoline, catalyzed action in the wake of "significant" or the "form", be it a Fiat 500, Topolino, or Che Guevara, which refers to an intimate content / emotion that each of us has lived and poured into it. The seductive "things" represented by Lombardino are wonderful images of content because, despite being created by love and passion of the artist, have the power to express a common sentiment shared and understood by society.

Rudiae From ...

Published in The New Country November 28, 2010
In this last Sunday of month end our tour continues to the "discovery" of small and great wonders of the historic center of Lecce. When you reach Porta Rusca or Rudiae, known by the name of the road leading to the ancient city of messapica Rudiae, the above was probably built by the architect Giuseppe Cino around 1703. On the top of the monumental crossing in the south-west of the old town, stands the statue of Sant 'Oronzo flanked laterally by rocky figures of St. Irene and Dominic both previous patrons of the city. After crossing the huge triumphal arch is projected beneath our feet and to get lost between the decorated branches in the urban center of the decumanus maximus "or Via Libertini. Leaving the back door and along the way that we have the impression that the civil and religious buildings stacked projecting the long axis road, is spalleggino quietly trying to make a good show though. On the one hand, the insolent and fanciful facade of the Church of St. John the Baptist, commonly called the "Rosary", seems to overwhelm the simple statement of the old co nvento Dominican S. John D'Aymo (Academy of Fine Arts), while the other side is contrasted with crabby do, the powerful and robust construction dimpled former Hospital of the Holy Spirit; situated a little further down the road, gracefully from its 68 meters, stands the "restored" and soaring bell tower of the cathedral which, heedless of the bulky aesthetic and polemical quarrels between buildings situated below its altitude, the discretely observed scene. Probably the original site, on which now stands the sixteenth-century factory Hospital, was used as a place for the care of poor sick towards the end of the fourteenth century, when Giovanni d' Aymo rich Florentine merchant living in Lecce, commissioned the construction of a church, a convent and a hospital entrusted entirely to the Dominican fathers, the hospital was officially founded with the issuance of a papal bull of 1392 laid by the then Pope Boniface IX. A hundred years later, however, it was decided to expand on the original design drawings created by master architect Gian Giacomo of, according to sources the new hospital would be built or rebuilt in 1548. The entire building has a strict marked by pairs of fluted pilasters and a marked embossed bandage (works in masonry construction bosses, stones that look different in shape and evenly protruding from the surface of the wall for decoration). The complex is spread over two floors lower that in addition to heavy string course, is complemented by a solemn round portal ashlar above which is placed one of five nineteenth-century clocks present in different parts of the city at the time all electronically synchronized. The upper floor is enriched by a series of elegant and ornate windows sober frames around them. The hard years from 1806 to 1815 focusing French imposed the suppression of religious orders and the monastery came under the "law" of the State Property Regio in 1898 the hospital had a new place or what is now know as the "old" Vito Fazzi Hospital then the complex became the headquarters of the Departmental Direction of Tobacco, also one of the two "infirmaries" has a movie theater. Yet another conversion is provided for quell'ex charitable work and concerns the future home of the Superintendence for Architectural Heritage and Landscape for the provinces of Lecce, Brindisi and Taranto. little further on near the church of Santa Teresa mention an appointment with the abundant and tasty appetizer tastings offered by the Milanese restaurant Blanco.

Some people take it because it is crystal clear, some people take it because it is very bright, some people take it because it is a view from portrait amazing, some people take it because it costs too much and there are those who have heard of it because it takes forever well. All
take it anyway to take pictures but ... I think it's so beautiful that it could take just to take pictures!

Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Review
Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Review
There are still a few things you can only do with a full frame SLR.
reach a minimum of 12mm focal length is no longer effective since one of these Sigma presented the extreme wide-angle focal length with 8-16mm zoom for a camera sensor reduced and equivalent to a 12 on these about-24mm (depending on whether you use that Canon has a multiplication factor of 1.6 x or Nikon which has instead a factor of 1.5 x).
A great credit must go to this company, leader in the field of optical universal, is to present still new targets in those areas where large seem to doze. In fact remains unmatched even 12-24mm format that covers the full zoom and is currently the shortest on the market for full-size sensors and 35mm film, or the new 30mm f/1.4, fixed lens dedicated to APS-C bodies.
construction and equipment
But let's go on: the 8-16mm is as usual in black cardboard box in which we find a good amount of instruction manuals, package of guarantees in addition to the remarkable padded Nylon which Sigma has accustomed us. His workmanship is excellent and being equipped with a loop can be attached to the belt pants or a backpack to providing comfort and protection at the same time.
usually also the hood is part of the budget of home Sigma (unlike Canon which does not pay separately if you buy an L series) but in this case it is integrated into the lens and then you can not remove. We find a curious metal ring adapter that is inserted directly on the fixed hood and allows you to use both 72mm filters that attach the front cap.
The fact that this adapter is necessary to allow the attachment of the cap there is no doubt, but less clear is its usefulness with filters. The ring in the field of view forcefully enter it until the property value and the images have taken a kind of circular fisheye effect.
However, it's always better to use the filters and at least 16mm nothing really.
And already, the fact is that the thread in front is not present on this target and this by virtue of the fact that the front element is very prominent.
For the rest of the building is typical of the Sigma EX line: surface satin finish and rubber, very good and assembly with no visible defects. The size of the lens weighs convey strength and length a bit surprising 'because with its 106mm is longer than 20mm compared to the nearly 10-22mm Canon.
be noted that the aim is not stretching or zooming in or focus.
The zoom ring provides resistance is firm and constant, probably because the sample I tried was brand new and will be designed to ease a bit 'with its use.
The focus ring does not have a particularly smooth motion, but for the use you will never do I'd say that's fine.
optical quality
The Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 is not particularly bright, but its focus has made me very afraid for the optical performance, but it's been a big surprise.
The sharpness is excellent at any focal length and is almost perfect already the most open aperture. Close f / 8 also becomes almost superfluous because of the depth of field to say the least, immense already wide open and this will only give pleasure to all holders of the latest digital SLR, thanks to their increasingly tiny pixels begin to suffer the loss of sharpness due to diffraction already at intermediate diaphragms.
The homogeneity between the center and edges of the frame is large and close enough to stop even a single frame to make everything crystal clear.
Good color rendering even though I still know the typical tendency to yellow from Sigma, much less evident than in the past but still present.
Surprising even the resistance against the light!
Having had the 10-20mm f/4-5.6 I expected half shots in disaster when the sun is in the field of view and just off the anti-reflective coating and instead were treated very well. A comparison with the Canon 17-40mm, mounted on a 5D, I would say that we are almost at par. The Sigma 8-16mm exhibited only a few small reflection reaction that never came in minimizing unusable photos.
distance of only 24cm focus then makes it possible to take pictures from unusual and very creative perspective.
The speed of focus is not what I would call lightning, but it is a very important aspect for a wide angle to this extent. The ultrasonic motor is not shown even Sigma's silent like the Canon, but we are really looking for the nit.
Strana is a certain uncertainty in the focus manually if it leads to the minimum distance and then frames a distant object, like the clouds by starting AF. Sometimes the scale
infinite distances correctly on the ends, as expected, while some other times also stops at 0.8 meters.
now probably the difference in these two cases will be difficult to perceive since depth of field is always huge, but I still want to report this fact.
Yes, but on Full Frame?
The initials DC in the name of this 8-16mm perspective suggests that it is designed exclusively for use on small sensor cameras, however, the graft is not the typical bump of the Canon EF-S that physically prevents installation on full frame bodies and analog.
So why not try this amazing wide angle even on the EOS 5D?
the focal minimum vignetting is evident at least as funny. Thanks to the integrated hood edges because blacks have a shape that resembles a frame and may after all be used as a creative device. Cropping to get rid of the black areas will get a shot equivalent to a 12mm and this means that we have gained nothing compared to the use on a camera with APS-C.
Zooming in the black areas will become increasingly more until it disappears completely at 16mm focal length in which the Sigma cover the entire 35mm frame. This means
say words that use the Full frame is not completely excluded.
Final
The Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 HSM is certainly a view that not all specialist and you feel the need today to enjoy a very short focal lengths without having to use a body sensor full size. Its price (between 650 € and 800 €) is not low, but the price / quality ratio is definitely in his favor considering the fact that currently there are no other brand of equivalent models.
The optical qualities are all there and if there is a problem without using the filter there are no other contraindications.

Avenged Sevenfold Belt Buckle
The smell of the sea
At one point, as I walked, warmed by the sun warm and welcoming, I felt a warm wind that seemed to know. A perfume that I did not recognize, but I knew to be something of mine, that I belonged ... always.
no one cares or notices it more than the smell of which I had forgotten the fragrance. One of the things that you can not live if you do not live Trapani.
A Trapani, lived in a typical lane of the San Pietro, the former Casalicchio, narrow, shaded by day and dark on the evening, which leads us straight to the sea port in the splendid backdrop of the Dovecote and Egadi. In Trapani, when I went from home I did not think to being embraced by two seas, to be in that area of \u200b\u200bsea that divides the world into two. Never, never, I think I thought about the good fortune to be there. Least I noticed the difference there is between the seats in the air with the sea and those without.
The smell of the sea is much more than a memory or sentimentality. Summarizes a lifestyle of Trapani in every generation and every time ... the first Elimi up to the iPod generation. The sea, the salt, iodine ... the sun, heat, wind ...
It was really fascinating to rediscover that feeling, that warmth, the condition of the soul, able to bring me back to when I left the teenager front door and, without realizing it, I was pampered by the Mare Nostrum. It was fascinating to discover everything in one place so far away physically, but so close to the colors, the smells, the faces of people, images of places and also the flavors. Here, the Mediterranean is the same as the coast of Trapani and Sicily ... I see the light here and headlands of San Cusumano Pizzolungo, the "Zabbar" that dot the road to San Vito, the angry sea, the same Marausa wet, wet cliffs from the sea as Cornino, the faces of fishermen and their boats. The colors of the sea and the blue sky reduplicating of our sites. The faces burnt by the sun are dark like those of old fishermen who see themselves in vintage postcards. After all, we are a bit 'in the Middle East.
And then I felt better. I felt better thinking that warmth, the gentle breeze, the salt water and even those pictures - somehow - told the same emotions of life that had accompanied my ancestors, who were stuck on their skin and who arrived in Sicily, through thousand generations of men and women, had become my own emotions.
Well, first impressions of the country of the cedars are much more than good. The question I ask myself is this though: if this is the land of the cedars ... because there are no cedars, but an infinite banana ?!?!? I will find out.
