Rome, Italy. Façade of the church San Gregorio Magno al Celio. The church was built during the Middle Ages on the spot were Saint Gregory had founded in 575 a monastery dedicated to Saint Andrew. Façade built by G.B. Soria in 1629 - 33 on commission by cardinal Scipione Borghese (the façade carries the "Eagle and Dragon", symbol of the Borghese family). The church is titolo cardinalizio (titular church of a cardinal) Santi Andrea e Gregorio al Monte Celio. The façade here shown leads to a porch, the coat of arms of the titular cardinal and the pope are placed near the entrance of the church proper.

Roman, born 1966, photographer by vocation, I received my long-desired first camera when I was 7 years old, a Kodak Instamatic 36, and since then photography is one of my main interests in life. I work mainly in colour, using both digital and film, and develop my colour films by myself with a Jobo CPP-2 rotary processor. My main subjects of interest are urban landscape and sculpture, photographed with an explicitly descriptive attitude. My photographs have also been published in travel guides, newspapers and text books all over the world, from the US and Brazil to Japan. Please note that the Fine Art America watermark will not show in the print you buy. This only shows in this web site.
