Voltone

Voltone
Il Palazzo Ducale di Gubbio si compone di due corpi di fabbrica, uno che guarda la montagna soprastante e l’altro i tetti della città, che trovano congiunzione nello splendido cortile centrale dove meraviglioso è il gioco di colore che nasce dall’accostamento tra la pietra serena e il laterizio, così come incantevoli sono le esili colonne che terminano in capitelli finemente lavorati.

Parte dell’edificio, quella ottenuta riattando una costruzione del XII° secolo, nasce al di sopra di una davvero caratteristica galleria (detta Voltone) fatta di formidabili piloni e volte a crociera: è proprio da qui che si accede all’incantevole giardino pensile voluto da Francesco Maria II Della Rovere (ultimo Signore d’Urbino), da dove per intero lo sguardo domina Gubbio.

The Ducal Palace of Gubbio consists of two buildings, one overlooking the mountain above and the other the roofs of the city, which are joined in the splendid central courtyard where wonderful is the play of colour that comes from the juxtaposition of pietra serena and brick, as well as enchanting are the slender columns that end in finely worked capitals.

Part of the building, the one obtained by renovating a building dating back to the 12th century, rises above a truly characteristic gallery (called Voltone) made of formidable pillars and cross vaults: it is from here that you can access the enchanting hanging garden wanted by Francesco Maria II Della Rovere (the last Lord of Urbino), from where the whole view overlooks Gubbio.

Lovely perspective and excellent use of repeating shapes. The figures add a sense of scale, and the fact they are wearing masks make this photograph a great social document of the Corona Virus age. All the best, Dany. Cheers, Joe

Thank you, Joe. Of this palast, the only one not medieval in the city, I saw only the medieval part, this one. I found it fantastic. We are still in the Corona Virus age. Cheers, Dany
