[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 823574, member: 53455"] The abbey church of Sant’ Antimo in Tuscany (2012). One of my colleagues at the firm, hearing that I was going on a Summer vacation trip to Italy, told me not to miss that, and I’m so glad he did, as I hadn’t planned on including it. The church holds many treasures, including an astounding 12th century (!) wooden statue of Christ on the Cross. And of course, here too you recognize the [I]bandes lombardes[/I] I told you about... :) So, you see, those master masons and architects from Lake Como spread their knowledge and their art through Italy as well, and in fact through most of Europe, and I hear through the Middle East too, going in with the Crusaders. I mean to go to Armenia in the not too distant future and I will be interested to see if I can spot traces of them there —although I suspect most of Armenia’s churches are older than that. Nikon D3S, Nikkor 24-70mm, ƒ/2.8 G lens, handheld. [ATTACH type="full"]409655[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
