Naples – Day 4.
Dome of the Naples cathedral named for The Assumption of The Holy Virgin to Heaven. However it is widely known as the Cattedrale di San Gennaro (Cathedral of Saint Januarius), in honour of the city's patron saint. The statue of San Gennaro is on the right of the frame.
Gennaro, the bishop of Naples, was martyred in the third century. He has been venerated down the centuries as the city's protector against war, the plague, earthquakes, shipwrecks and natural disasters.
Thank you so much for all your visits, for your comments and for the fav's.
We have 4 grandchildren the older 2 are a boy and girl and now 18 and 21, so I know what you mean, they are both in uni and we only see them occasionally. They are our middle daughters and husband
The younger boy and girl 3 and 18 months are our oldest daughter and partners, she was a late starter!! We had hoped to see them a lot more while they have been growing but alas COVID put paid to that.!
@craftymeg Covid has changed our lifestyle for ever. When it's completely over we will have become used to a different lifestyle irrespective whether it is for better or for worse.
I have almost no artistic talent, but i enjoyed reading Gombrich’s history of art. He talks a lot about places like this, the thought about every element of the art is carefully considered and has meaning. I’d like to lay on my back under the dome with a pair of (supported) binoculars and just look and admire.
