They Stand in the Sky Like Sentinels - Belfries and Bell Towers in the East Side of Liguria

This is a beautiful addition to your albums Paolo. Well done with such vivid color and content. You have such wonderful architecture in Italy to photograph. I can't wait to be there. Well done, see you soon! With big H&K~Vickie~

Geniale!!!!!! Le scorrevo e confrontavo nella memoria gli stili dei campanili dei dintorni con questi. Le foto poi sono come sempre bellissime. Hanno per me un sapore d'infanzia, ricordo che a Carsi c'era un nido nel campanile e ci lasciavano salire in punta di piedi per non disturbare la cova, e quando correvamo in cima a quello del Boschetto per vedere dall'alto il paesaggio, ed erano emozioni indimenticabili... Da allora i paesi sono molto cambiati, solo i campanili si lasciano ritrovare intatti come li ricordavamo.... Un abbraccio - Paola

Paolo, Thank you for your invite to view this wonderful album. I can almost hear the beautiful tones of the bells as they ring out across the country side. All the towers were delightful to view especially with each having their own sytle. Well done. - Cathy

Happy Sunday, Thank you for inviting me to come view this album. To live with all this history surrounding you must be amazing. Your photos are vibrant with color and show each tower beautifully. I envy Vicky her upcoming trip. Some day we will get to Italy as well. This year it is New Zealand in two weeks. Again Thank you for the invitation.

Hello dear Paolo. Thank you for inviting me to view this beautiful album. I enjoyed it a lot. There is so much beaty in Italy. I am so in love with Italy: The architecture, the landscapes, the history, the food, the people, the climate. I have been in Italy many times. Next time will be in May for a short trip to Firenze, Ravenna and Sienna. cheers Ingrid

Ciao Paolo! Che bella idea, quest'album. Mi piacciono i torri che sono cosi diversi, ma con uno scopo solo. Bravo, amico mio! Un abbraccio, Beth

Ciao Paolo. Come sono affascinante queste campanile. Avete una buona idea. Sono tutti diversi ma sono tutti tanto bello allo stesso tempo. Che cielo azzuro ho visto. Mi sembra che e gia primavera in Italia. Grazie mille per aver visitato il mio 'feature' il giorno del S. Valentino. Cari saluti, Jayne x

Grazie mille per l'invito a questo fantastico album. Mi mancano le campanile d' Italia...non ci sono tante qui a Salt Lake City. I love the sound of the bells! Ciao, Terry

said terrytigger 2007.03.01 at 20:05:30 PST

Beautiful, Paolo. As usual, you have captured the architecture and texture of Italy with your photographs. The spires invite you to look up and revel in their grace and beauty. Complemente!

Nice album. I enjoy your work. Check out my new sunrise posting.

Just viewed the slide show of this beautiful album! So many bell towers in Liguria! You did an excelent job photographing them, and presenting them in this album. I would be interested to see the rest of these churches. I'm sure they are also architecturaly very beautiful as well. I found my grandparents little town (Serramonacesca) on google. Are you ever near that area of Italy? I don't ever hear anything about the central east coast of Italy. Is it a nice area to visit? Thanks again for sharing your wonderful photography, in this album! Ciao, John:)
