Piazza del Plebiscito, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

Napoli's grandest piazza is the city's gathering spot, playground and central focal point. It is elegant and airy. The enormous open space is a sunny spot in the heart of Napoli, known for its tight, narrow streets and population density. Here, people stroll with baby carriages, sit and chat, and soak in the sun.

Piazza del Plebiscito gets its name from the plebiscite held here in October, 1860, which annexed the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which ruled all of southern Italy, to the Savoys, officially uniting the country to become the Kingdom of Italy. Previously, the piazza was known as Largo del Palazzo, for the dominating Palazzo Reale, the Bourbon's royal palace.

Hello Daniel,
It's a nice composition of the impressive building seen from the side. People are not exactly "soaking in the sun" here, but the darkness of the evening was a just as good time for a photo, considering the two colours of illumination and the dark figures seen at the entrance.
Regards,
Gert

Wonderful angle chosen for this perspective, Daniel, good camera settings for a night scene.
Been to Italia 6 times - but never in Napoli.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Daniel,

Taken in this light, the piazza is hauntingly beautiful!
I like how the upper part of the palace contrasts so well with the darkening sky.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Daniel

There are some hidden gems in Naples & I am glad you found one of them. Nice repetition of the illuminated columns with their Ionic and Doric capitals. Tfs!

That's an impressive capture, Daniel. Very dramatic, a bit surreal as well. I'm curious to discover your other Napoli shots, we visited the city a few years ago and really liked it.
