This is a wonderful image. The old fellow may be moving slowly but he's not stopping. I love the light and shadow.

Le titre et la photo sont fait pour vivre ensembles.
Quels symboles forts ces ombres géantes qui avalent ce petit vieux.
Emotion, comme j'aime.

Lovely shot Giovanni!
Is this at the back of the cathedral by any chance?

@Ian Bramham: No, this is not at the back of the Duomo (the cathedral), but it's really close. Thank you for your comment!

Beautiful shot Giovanni.
The tones are amazing as is the light/shadow play in the frame. This has a cinematic quality. Bravo!

Like a scene from some long-lost ancient fable . . the mass of the church building and the frail man departing . . strong stuff.

He looks so small and vulnerable. A very different and special portrait.

Interesting proportion of the man to the whole view emphasized even more by corner placement.

Parece ser que en la Via Torino hay unas sombras ocultas que intentan apoderarse de todo.

Very evocative, beautifully done. The shadows are so heavy, and his shirt is so white.

L'occhio corre dalla luce all'uomo che entra nel cono d'ombra... una bella composizione.
