In front of the church we can see an olive tree representing the Passion and a palm tree as symbol of the Resurrection.
By the way, we have just learned that

That is an excellent accomplishment. This is some wonderful architecture. I do like the front of the building.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your blog award - well deserved! I guess if we're patient, then you'll show us INSIDE the church, too, non?
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! Congratulations on your award. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, congratulations! That's so cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd the church is awesome. One of the few modern buildings you've shown us. I think I'm beginning to understand your fascination for modern skyscrapers. :)
Lovely architecture! Although I would never have guessed it was a church. Very modern :D
ReplyDeleteBlog of the Week! Mazal tov to you both!!
ReplyDeleteItaly and Livorno are lucky to have you as photo bloggers. Nice to learn more about you in the interview.
Interesting that you write in English and then translate.
That church is so different from the old ones. I haven't seen a new church in years. I wonder how it feels inside.
Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThis church looks a bit like a boat with a huge prow.
Congratulations on your award:)
ReplyDeleteThis church is, well, interesting.
Well done, Gianna and Giacomo!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness that Church is very modernistic. Lovely in it's own way.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being Chosen Blog of the Week. An honor. MB
First of all I need to say that blue sky is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo modern architecture in this church, it's beautiful indeed!Reminds me the modern buildings in Brazilia and the architect Niemeyer.
Wonderful pictures!

I am not sure I like the architecture for a church, sorry, but it looks more like a building with offices, conferences or a public library...( re the last photo.)
ReplyDeleteThe ITALY MAGAZINE had a very nice and interesting blog this week. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU !!:)
Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteThis church is certainly not like most of the houses of worship you see in Italy! It's a bit too space-y for me.
The architecture is fantastic and so are these shots!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Livorno DP!
Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition, VP! I'm not so fond of this building; it is rather cold and uninviting with those hard edges. I'm no fengshui expert, but that bell tower makes me think of the I M Pei-designed China Bank in Hong Kong. When that was built it was roundly criticized for its sharp corners that are feared to impart bad luck to its neighbors.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Swedish Lucia Bride should pay them a visit!
