The main hall of a noble palace built in the late '600. The names of the places are omitted to preserve its safety.
This palace is part of the ten palaces to which I am most fond for majesty, it was my first extremely luxurious noble palace to be explored, so I always keep a pleasant memory.
I am so fond of this building that over the years I have returned many times to be able to photograph the rooms with different light temperatures, with the change of seasonal light and the hours of the day. I often come back to a place, but in this I will be back 6-7 times.


In this shot I waited for the soft light of a sunset of a winter day. In the dark rooms a last ray of light peeped out from the balcony behind. I wanted to capture the melancholy of the moment with this semi-destroyed armchair and these two noble and artistic caryatids who seemed to appreciate my discretion and my intent to give it a last noble tribute.
