Historical houses

Every Sunday up to 12 June (included the civil holiday of 2 June) it is possible to visit some of the most beautiful historical houses in Bergamo. Five palaces of unique charm that give the opportunity to appreciate different architectonic styles and to dive into elegant pivate�
rooms usually closed to the public access. The visitor will be able to admire works of different kind like wonderful frescoes, decorations by Tiepolo, original forniture, carpets and paintings (some of which by Moroni, Luini and Baschenis). Moreover there is the opportunity to take part to particular events about the five senses in the courtyards of the palaces: every sense characterizes one house, tranforming the visit in an even more unforgettable experience.
The tickets to visit the historical houses are available on place. The events about the five senses are free.

Ma che foto bellissima Paolo!!!!!!!
sei un mago nel riprendere questi paesaggi con temporali e luce fortissima!!!!
i colori sono a dir poco stupendi, forti, con quella tipica luce post o ante temporale, i fulmini sullo sfondo sono magnifici e c'� un cielo veramente cupo e spaventoso!
una foto meravigliosa!

Bergamo la conosco parecchio bene, parecchie miei amici ci abitano o ci hanno abitato per anni e ho una casa in Valseriana da 36 anni! per� sinceramente non riesco a capire da dove tu abbia scattato quwesta foto?!
� lungo una delle salite per la Citt� Alta chiuse alle auto?

grazie, ciao

E' veramente incredibile quello che sei riuscito a riprendere. I colori, quella luce tipica dei temporali e i fulmini sullo sfondo, rendono la tua foto meravigliosa.
Grazie

Ciao Paolo,
great, great and great picture !
Good choice with the panoramic format, beautiful light on the city, dramatic sky !
The lightning is a huge bonus, you shot at the right time !
Very well done

toddadams (575) 2005-07-29 10:31

What a striking photo. I can't stop looking over it. The mood you've captured is just impecable, the colors and the lighting are exceptional. I do suspect this has been composited or had quite a bit of post-processing, but I'll stand corrected if I'm wrong.

Cpamoi (10391) 2005-07-29 10:48

Fantastic picture!
great light and colors.
Well done!

EMA (313) 2005-07-29 15:00

Wow! Fantasic shot with the moody weather!

stefi (1230) 2005-07-29 16:17

Bellissima foto Paolo, davvero molto notevole l'esposizione, curata e il cielo drammatico ed incombente. I lampi poi sono davvero la ciliegina sulla torta!
Molto bello anche il lavoro di post processing.
Bravo

Une superbe Photo Paolo,
je t'閏ris cette critique alors que l'orage fait rage ici � Li鑗e. Cela tombe vraiment bien.
J'adore le format, ce soleil qui inonde les fa鏰de alors que ce ciel noir lance ses foudres partout.
Atmosph鑢e irr閑lle...... c'est vraiment beau.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Hi ! It's an amazing picure, in one part, the colors an dthe warm light an din the other part, darkness and storm. This contrast is very well done. Composition is successfull an d the all picture is very sharp.

oochappan (4880) 2005-07-30 5:10

Indeed a unique moment of light and fantastic lightenings in the background, claire obscure painting if I recall it right, outstanding never seen such a capture like this here before and merrits alot more attention.
Congratulations, one of those shots I would dream of to get this unique chance of capturing and I believe many would like too. A fav.
Henk

simonekarl (404) 2005-07-30 11:56

Ciao Paolo
This is a great capture, the constrasting light is amazing.
Is this a stitched panoramic? and if so how many photos have you joined here?
To catch lightening like that you must have taken a lot of shots. The results are worth it!

marcon (135) 2005-07-30 16:54

Ciao Paolo.
Semplicemente stupenda, sole e temporale insieme danno una luce veramente unica. E poi le foto panoramiche hanno sempre un impatto particolare. Bravo!
Marco

sam224 (6215) 2005-07-31 7:33

Bellissimo scatto Paolo. Eccellente la luce che illumina la citt� alta prima della tempesta annunciata dai fulmini sulla destra. Ottima composizione. Bravo!

PixelTerror (0) 2005-08-01 12:54

Ciao Paolo,
A superb one, the light on the beautiful old houses is very nice and in grat contrast with the storm, giving a very dramatic atmosphere to this view, having caught the lightning at the same time is just fantastic !!!
Don't you post a large version ?
Have a nice day,
jean-Yves

serenadanesi (944) 2005-08-01 14:59

Questa foto lascia senza parole...troppo ben fatta per poterla commentare.

frede (39) 2005-08-05 12:36

Fantastique photo !
J'ai le m阭e sentiment que desman ...
Mais si ce n'est pas le cas, alors mille fois bravo. La composition est parfaite et le clair obscur splendide. L'orage n'閠ait pas arriv� encore au dessus des maisons.
J'aurais aim� faire cette photo !

kinginexile (2598) 2005-08-25 15:44

This is one of the great shots on TE, which has many, of course, but what an impressive capture. It is simply perfect!

loryuno (304) 2006-01-26 20:20

Stupenda foto, Claudio.
Quali sono le misure originali di questa foto?
Ciao
Lorenza

DanielaCaneschi (132) 2006-05-22 9:50

Secondo me, queste sono le condizioni migliori per fotografare (che se magari uno si trova poi bagnato come un pulcino): cielo scuro, da tregenda, sullo sfondo, e luce del sole che filtra bassa dalla nuvole, facendo risaltare i colori e incidendo le forme. Sei stato fortunato a trovarti di fronte a questo fenomeno, ma anche molto bravo a cogliere l'attimo per il lampo dei fulmini

vhemmati (616) 2006-08-25 14:08

Hi,

Amazing composition and great to have the lighting in the best spot of the frame. The light on the houses is awesome. An intersting picture to see and useful notes.

Hello Paolo,
How such a great image can have so few points ???
I just discovered it and I am just stunned....
Really a superb picture, colors are incredible and the thunders on the background, I can't even tell you...
Really great work, congratulations.
Best regards, Christian

cyrrhus (2878) 2007-04-16 17:36

Paolo,
What an incredible picture. I always love illuminated houses in front of a deep grey sky. In this case it is absolutely superb.. and I see you manage to take such photo with a "simple" bridge.
Bravissimo.
I once stopped in Bergamo on my way back from Verona and was really surprised to discover some of its treasures... an excellent souvenir. Hope to have time to come back one day.
Ciao
Eric /.
