Normally i don't take pictures in churches ... but in this amazing Duomo on the grand Piazza del Duomo there is a mind blowing statue that i had to capture... most people are snapping pictures right and left with their flashes but using museum mode on the camera, without the flash, i tried at least to be un-obvious ... and i was rewarded as the effect was perfect... a statue toward the back on the right-hand side of the Duomo, depicts Saint Bartholomew. He was skinned alive, so is shown here and in other religious artwork holding his own skin. In this case, he stands with his skin draped around him. The Flayed San Bartolomeo by artist Marco d’Agrate dates from 1562.... maybe because of the harsh treatment of the early Bahai's in Iran i felt such a strong kinship to him..
