58/365 – “Habemus Papam” nr.30, a photo by Luca Rossini on Flickr. Sony RX1, 35mm f2 Carl Zeiss ISO100, f/3.5, 1/640, raw Time to leave? It almost is, for me, time to leave the “Habemus Papam” theme and, with it, the sacred-side of Rome. These nuns aren’t probably leaving either Rome or the Pope, since […]

57/365 – “Habemus Papam” nr.29, a photo by Luca Rossini on Flickr.

Sony RX1, 35mm f2 Carl Zeiss ISO3200, f/2.8, 1/80, raw A quiet, outrageously beautiful, basilica, the one of San Paolo Fuori le Mura (Saint Paul outside the walls).

Sony RX1, 35mm f2 Carl Zeiss ISO100, f/2.8, 1/320, raw A (Southern)-Western European metropolis and capital city such as Rome should, in theory, represent that secular age the Western World is currently considered to be going through.

Sony RX1, 35mm f2 Carl Zeiss ISO100, f/3.2, 1/160, raw Most of the fuss about the new Pope and the old one may now be fading-out, but surely the hundreds of tourists constantly queuing to get in Saint Peter’s basilica are still there, […]

51/365 – “Habemus Papam” nr.23, a photo by Luca Rossini on Flickr. The show must go off. It has to. This square, this city, cannot become a permanent stage for a political/religious event centred around Pope Francesco. Probably someones wish it could, but for the rest of the Roman citizens, and for the majority of […]

Sony RX1, 35mm f2 Carl Zeiss ISO100, f/5, 1/200, raw At his already second “Wednesday General Audience”, Pope Francesco used again the Papa-Mobil to drive through the crowd that, as usual, gathered to see him.
