Tempio Voltiano, a photo from Como, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

''The Tempio Voltiano is a museum dedicated to Alessandro Volta situated in the city of Como, Italy.

The neoclassical building was completed in 1927 to celebrate the 100th death anniversary of the scientist, but it was inaugurated only in 1928.

It hosts a collection of scientific instruments used by the physicist and, on the first floor, personal belongings and various awards received by the scientist.

It is one of the most visited museums in town and, until the Italian lira was replaced by the Euro, the temple was featured on the back of the 10,000 lire banknote while Volta's portrait was depicted on the front of the same banknote.''

Hello Alessandro,

A beautiful shot of this museum taken with great pov. I like the gray tones against the blue sky. The green trees around create a nice peaceful atmosphere.

Ciao Alessandro,
molto bello questo tempio che in qualche modo fa vagamente pensare al Pantheon di Roma.
Luce ben gestita e colori molto naturali.

Ben fatto e grazie per la condivisione.

Alessandro
Ancora ripercorri tragitti del mio passato giovanile, 16enne percorrevo da villa d'Este questo tratto di lago.
Un po greco un po palladiano, comunque significativo .
