this is amazing!

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (8:56 AM) : 

These places you photograph are really beautiful, and it is great to see something new. But they definitely don't capture the same way you are able to capture people.... you might look to architectural photographers for some inspiration.

 

Blogger Haley said ... (9:00 AM) : 

There is something so beautiful about the way your darkest darks are saturated in these architectural shots...I particularly love the Bagutta image.

Palazzo Litta. It was formerly owned by the State Railway Administration (you can read "Ferrovie dello Stato" on the marble plaques), now is used for art expositions and houses the offices of the Superintendence to Historical Archives.

I'm not impressed just because this structure is right in front of my house, so I can see it every day...But I'm so happy that american people appreciate our culture!!
great pic!

Breathtaking...I love the colour, the texture and the mystery of what is behind it. And the hearts....lovely.

Dear Scott,

I love how you want to make a statement...because Milan is my favorite city. Like I said before I have been there once, but from that moment on I believed in love at first sight.

I believe Milan and I will have a amazing future.

With lunches at places where you and Garance are and I might pop by sometime!

Have a nice day!

Thank you so much for this series on showing the beauty of Milano- it only deepens my love for this blog! I'm an American student studying in Milano for the semester and while I'm having fun exploring the city on my own, it's such a gift to be able to see the city through more experienced (and talented) eyes. Thank you for helping me see the charm in my new hometown, I'm still adjusting to city life and appreciate your insight.

Gorgeous entrance! If you haven't been to the big cemetary, you should go and see the amazing statues there, some by very famous artists.

Wait until you visit Torino and see the palazzo Carignano! And Isa sells Dortmund area 'short.' Day trips to see schloss Benrath or schloss Augustusburg, masterpieces of the Barock, stunning!

 

Anonymous Yen said ... (12:30 PM) : 

those statues are very sartorialist in a way!

 

Anonymous sioux said ... (12:48 PM) : 

on behalf of a D.O.C. milanese girl, I would like to thank you for the attention you have brought to my city. Milano has a discreet charm, often enclosed inside not accessible courtyards. It's an industrial city but also an historical city with beautiful examples of architecture, I adore above all the Liberty style houses of the early 1900, and above all Milano is still a city on a human scale, not too chaotic.

BELLISSIMA MILANO!

 

Blogger Niamh Roisin said ... (1:18 PM) : 

There are some amazing caryatids in northern Italy - but these are very beautiful and quite different to ones I have seen before - the carving of the drapery is very fine - gorgeous!!! A fashion designer always recognises a beautiful use of fabric! Even rendered in stone!

really nice door!!

 

Blogger Life Abroad said ... (3:09 PM) : 

There is something so tragic and beautiful about older run-down buildings that are clearly magnificently crafted. I found that throughout South America too. Buenos Aires has architecture like Paris, yet is so run-down that it is heartbreakingly beautiful.

I like the diversity in your work. It's nice to not only see the people, but the settings where they live.

Blogger Kate said ... (6:55 PM) : 

When I came back from my trip last year (to Rome, Malta, Turkey, Egypt, and Spain) I was amazed by how many photos of doors I had. I wonder what causes us to love them so much? The visualization of possibility?

 

Anonymous Karim said ... (7:27 PM) : 

Why has it been left to rot though? Ill never understand, if i owned that building the entrance would look like new, its a testament to it beauty its worth a photo despite decades of neglect...

What a lovely and exquisite photograph. Great color, tone and texture. The door is wonderful, but I'm especially entranced by the two male sculptural figures --- caryatids maybe?

Anonymous Andrea said ... (10:07 PM) : 

Those are the caryatids, columns carved in female form. The Greek term karyatides literally means "maidens of Karyai", an ancient town of Peloponnese. I saw a very beautiful house once, just like this in a city called Sibiu in Romania. Lovely art. Thank you for the daily pictures. Food for my soul.

My one regret when in Italy was that I did not get to Milan. There were 2 places I wanted to see, 1 was the Romeo Gigli store and 2 was 9 Corso Como. Back in the mid 90's my boss from Scanlan and Theodore had bought me a perfume from there which was gorgeous.

I am so jealous of all your travelling!!!!

Thanks for the post.

Blogger Steph said ... (2:20 AM) : 

Wow, Milan is beautiful -- what a stunning architectural facade that building has! The statues in the columns were sculpted with such amazing and precise details; just look at the muscles on their chests, their hair, and all of the 'billowing' fabric wrapped around them. And, what exquisite shades of colors it has... hues that only time and the elements could give it. I have never seen anything so beautiful in person, but then, I have never been to Italy.

however... Mr. Schuman I do really think, you should not put this photo once again with a date 07.02.2010(do you want to pretend that it is first time on your blog???).

You already put it approx. 3 years ago...

Do not underestimate the power of GREAT MEMORY! (I do remember all You have put here, and I am going to keep watching...) LoL

Exceptional tones in this image, really spot on, evocative. Your symmetrical take on the subject works...fits with the feel of much Italian architecture.
