San Carlo ai Catinari, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

San Carlo ai Catinari, also called Santi Biagio e Carlo ai Catinari ("Saints Blaise and Charles in Catinari") is an early-Baroque style church in Rome, Italy.

The attribute ai Catinari refers to the presence, at the time of its construction, of many dishmaker shops in the same street as the church. The church was commissioned by the Order of the Barnabites and funded by the Milanese community in Rome to honour their fellow Milanese St. Charles Borromeo (Italian: San Carlo). It is one of at least three Roman churches dedicated to him, including San Carlo al Corso and San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (San Carlino). The main design was by Rosato Rosati between 1612 and 1620. The drab, travertine façade was designed by Giovanni Battista Soria and construction occurred in 1635-38.

Hello Jean Claude,

I like very much this photo of a church I have not visited before. If you don't mind, however, I would like to do a workshop to correct the perspective somewhat. Since you've used a very wide lens, the vertical lines appear to converge much lower than they should than would the view in the human eye.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Jean Claude,

Your superwide lens gives a little bit distortion.
I look to the WS Bulent with a small tool is the picture excellent.
Nevertheless is your picture absolutely nice, splendid interior image.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant for look at.
Also a fantastic depth and perspective picture.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.
