《Italy.Voyage》Genova, Italy -6 @ Vivi's Voyage

沒有計畫的旅行常常有意外或是錯誤
如果每一個意外都是這樣美麗的話
我想每天的驚奇會充滿你的心!

這是買完香草麵包在回到火車站的路上看到的列柱式建築

這幾乎是在歐洲比比皆是的建築尤其是看了St. Lorenzo 或是Genoa的街道後
但是進去以後,卻讓人屏住呼吸
深怕一個喘息, 會破壞了殿堂的神聖
由於是意外的發現地圖到現在還沒研究清楚
所以只知道靠火車站很近! 其他史料不可考
當場也沒有發FLYER 所以完全不清楚

Jan 25 2009: Genova 終於有官方網站了
我藉著e-mail 把名稱問出來了: Chiesa della SS. Annunziata del Vastato
這是我查到的資料:
This church was originally built in late gothic style by the Franciscan monks on the foundations of an earlier church. The noble Lomellini family who made their fortune trading in coral then renovated it between 1591 and 1650. It is built in the shape of a Latin cross and divided into three naves with two rows of lateral altars. This church has been called a 17th century Genoese Gallery because of its lavish interiors of inlayed marble, gilt stucco, and frescoes illustrating the mysteries of the Annunciation, all created by a selection of 23 local artists and 13 sculptors (such as G.and G.B. Carlone, D. Fiasella, A. Ansaldo, G. Assereto and G. Benso). Moreover, there are works of art by D. Piola, G. De Ferrari, L. Cambiaso, B. Strozzi, G.C. Procaccini and others still. The strange name Vastato comes from vastinium, a safety belt within the protective bastions that was left free during medieval times for military purposes. In fact the Barbarossa belt, dating back to 1155-61 sits directly opposite the church.

不過不跟大家分享一下實在太可惜囉!
