La cupola della Frederiks Kirke vista dalla nave.
Oggi (a dire la verità diverso tempo fa) lo sguardo del mio obiettivo si è posato sulla mastodontica cupola di una delle più famose chiese di Copenaghen.
Da uno dei ponti esterni della nave in cui lavoravo (la Costa Firenze) ormeggiata nel porto della capitale danese.

La Frederiks Kirke (chiesa di Federico in danese), meglio nota come Marmorkirken (Chiesa marmorea) è una delle chiese di Copenaghen, capitale della Danimarca. Fu progettata dall’architetto Nicolai Eigtved nel 1740 insieme al Frederiksstad, il quartiere di Copenaghen in cui si trova, per commemorare il 300º anniversario dell’incoronazione del primo membro del Casato degli Oldenburg.

The transept is covered by an octagonal dome, with a lantern only on the outside; in the drum, externally enlivened by a loggia with triple lancet windows, there are eight circular rose windows, one on each side, the result of the sixteenth-century expansion of the previous ones, of Romanesque origin.

The dome of the Santuario della Guardia behind Genoa.
Some time ago I went for a nice visit to the Santuario della Guardia, just behind Genoa.
The church has a simple and not very ostentatious appearance but on the vault and in the dome the decorations are still very beautiful and in front the coat of arms of Genoa stands out.

The interior of the gallery consists of two streets that cross orthogonally, covered by an iron and glass structure. They are bordered by some buildings, four of which have access from the central octagon. Their facades mirror the main one: the lower order, in fact, is divided by large smooth pilasters, painted in fake marble that frame the entrances to the shops and the mezzanines above. The Serlian windows follow on the first floor, the mullioned windows on the second, and the square windows in the attic.

Nel Duecento, nell’ambito dei lavori che stavano trasformando l’aspetto della piazza, le cupole furono sopraelevate con tecniche di costruzione bizantine e fatimide: esse sono costruzioni lignee rivestite da lamine di piombo soprastanti le cupole originali più antiche, sulle quali si sviluppa il rivestimento musivo che si ammira all’interno della chiesa. Solo nel XV secolo, con la decorazione della parte alta delle facciate, si definisce l’attuale aspetto esteriore della basilica; nonostante ciò, essa costituisce un insieme unitario e coerente tra le varie esperienze artistiche a cui è stata soggetta nel corso dei secoli.
