A different morning view

Posted on 13 November 2006 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Usually I show you shots from my westward facing window toward St. Peter’s.  And why woulnd’t I?  I do have other windows, however.  Here is an early morning shot toward the south east, nearly into the sun.

    Father Z,
    I recognize the National Monument and, if I am not mistaken, the Pantheon cupola. But what is the church in the foreground called?

    San Luigi dei Francesi. What you see is the back of its facade. (Ironic, n’est-ce pas?)

    Thank you Father, for this atmospheric juxtaposition of the old and the new in the Eternal City: the glorious Pantheon, and the self-glorificatory Vittoriano imposing itself into shot in the background.

    … And when will we see the back of that other French facade ?
