The panorama you see in this photo of mine portrays a very large area: the mountains in the background are more than 150 km away from the shooting point.
In a single glance you can see a large part of the western province of Turin, the capital of Piedmont, a region in the north west of Italy, whose name means "At the foot of the mountains".
In the foreground, the City of Avigliana with its medieval fortress, now reduced to ruins, is clearly visible, while in the background the City of Turin (about 900,000 inhabitants) immersed in the morning fog is visible. The tallest buildings in the city stand out (the Mole Antonelliana, symbol of the city, the two recent skyscrapers and other important buildings).
In the background, however, there is the hill that surrounds the city, with the highest point reaching 700 meters. On the hill the Basilica of Superga stands out, visible right in front of the area where the sun rises, while further to the right the Maddalene lighthouse, surrounded by telecommunications antennas.
On the right of the photo there are instead the countryside of the nearby province of Cuneo (the Langhe) with the slopes that reach the Ligurian Apennines in the background (behind these mountains there is Liguria with its Ligurian Sea).
In the photo there are very fine details: houses, buildings, cars and trains in motion, even the people waiting for the train to arrive at the train station. The unexpected light of dawn made the image even more impressive.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
