Ciao Luci�,
forse avresti dovuto postare un altro genere di foto per festeggiare i 150 anni dell'Unit� d'Italia.
Qui pi� che dalla Bandiera si � attratti dalla sbandieratrice :-))

Perfetta la cornice tricolore.

Ciao!
Franc�

Hello Luciano,
I'm so happy with you all Italian people to celebration of yours 150 unity. Great photo to show your happiness.
All the best to all Italian people,
Barbara

Uhhh...Signuur!! Anche tu con l'Italia, oggi...peraltro con un'immagine bella e allegra. Auguriamoci che il nostro Stivale possa sorridere ancora e ancora. Io qui, abitando a due passi dal confine austriaco, vivo un realt� un pochino diversa. Oggi niente festa, tutti i negozi aperti, qualche bandiera bianca e rossa ( S㥣tirol) esposta invece del tricolore.E che cosa ci vuoi fare?
Anna Paola

ingvar (2106) 2011-03-17 19:21

Me ne stavo andando senza vedere il tuo capolavoro, caro Luciano! Sai, a quest侊ra! Hai riunito tutto, la bellezza, giovinezza,un pezzo d𠿟uto e anche la fede. Secondo me, fra tutti noi partecipanti di oggi � � la migliore! (per me, ovviamente) Per� in queste occasioni, diciamolo, non occorre fermarsi molto su chi � primo e chi � secondo, come ricordiamo -nella battaglia anche il cuoco � molto importante! Perci� ti stringo la mano e buone feste!

Hello Luciano. I congratulate Italy's 150th birthday. The symbolic photo fits perfectly to the occasion. The young woman with the flag is an absolute eye-catcher. Well done. A great shot. Rgds, Wolfgang.

bukitgolfb301 (54014) 2011-03-18 2:01

Ciao caro Luciano

heheheh, hai incluso un icone nella tua foto: la bellezza delle donne Italiane :) Sei molto patriottico lo sai, anche se un guardone :) Buona festa e grazie per la bella foto.

Un abbraccio

ikeharel (112549) 2011-03-18 3:09

Happy Italia day, Luciano, 150 years is a long way the country gone through...
Nice take on lovely girl in a cabrilet... I remember when Italia won the world cup than.
Have a nice celebration day.
Ike

batalay (41261) 2011-03-18 4:05

Ciao Luciano,

Indeed, yesterday was the 150th birthday of the nation that gave us the greatest art in history! I like this lively shot from five years ago. You've captured a fleeting instant. I cannot believe that it has been five years since the 2006 World Cup Victory. How did you manage to capture the cross, perhaps symbolic in this instance, just above the Italian flag.

Warm regards,

Bulent

snunney (130967) 2011-03-18 5:16

Hello Luciano,
A joyful image to celebrate the birth of a unified Italy. A very fine portrait of this rather attractive and appropriately dressed young lady. Exposure is perfect and the colours sharp and crisp.

mursaloglu (8682) 2011-03-18 5:35

ciao Luciano
vi congratulo vivamente questa giornata stupenda e commemorativa e si vede da tua foto fantastico che significa 150 anni di un unione. Non son italiano ma condivido gli stessi pensieri e felicita con voi. Viva Italia e tanto grazie per la tua foto grandiosa. ihsan

jlbrthnn (76043) 2011-03-18 6:27

Ciao Luciano, ha gli occhi rossi ma � sempre una bella figlia, questa l'hai scattata davanti al bar, riconosco la chiesa sullo sfondo, gran bella notturna, sempre bello vedere sventolare il tricolore, bravo, bel pensiero, ti auguro un buon week end soleggiato e con tante farfalle, ciao Silvio

yquem46 (38752) 2011-03-18 9:21

Ciao Luciano
Viva Italia and happy 150th anniversary to your very attractive country that I like a lot
A shot quite representative of la dolce vita al 'italiana, but how I hate that you chose this celebration of Italy's victory in 2006 ! Grrrrr !!! LOL
have a nice WE
Best regards

Hi Luciano, Happy Birthday Italy & what a lovely photo to celebrate the event with, these young people look as though that are having a great time, I love the capture of the flag riding horizontal across the shot & the lighting is truly excellent, wonderful detail & TFS, kind regards Wilson.

bebbetto (122) 2011-03-19 13:33

bene bene, fa piacere vedere che anche da voi siamo rimasti in tanti !
Curiosa la croce proprio sopra la bandiera.
Sono sicuro che � voluto.
Bella foto

Budapestman (82620) 2011-03-19 16:26

Ricx (13495) 2011-03-20 2:43

Hi Luciano, an amazing image- bright colourful and maybe depicts Italy for what most of us understand Italy to be. Full of pretty girls and the Catholic Church.. Well presented and have a great day Rich

mkamionka (73532) 2011-03-20 3:00

Ciao Luciano,
very attractive capture with beautiful girl caught in a really nice pose. Everybody seems happy. The presence of the flag says it all. Surprisingly there is also the cross which seems to be an important element of the Italian state I guess.
I am only surprised why you did not remove the red eye effect.
Happy anniversary,
M

Nard (6972) 2011-03-20 11:46

Ciao Luciano

Bonne f皻e nationale avec un peu de retard.. Une belle photos avec de nombreux symboles qu'on pourrait rattacher � l'Italie : le drapeau, une belle ille, une belle voiture, des gars qui font la f皻e et au dessus la croix.

bernard

paololg (31448) 2011-03-20 14:16

Ciao caro Luciano,
anche se in ritardo, te la commento ugualmente, perch� � una delle pi� belle immagini per ricordare il 150�. Una immagine allegra e spensierata, come poche se ne vedono ultimamente, specialmente sui giornali. Mi piace anche la tua nota, ottimistica e non polemica, che dimostra che sei una persona equilibrata che sa esprimere le proprie opinioni senza scendere nella faziosit�. Bravo, anche perch� la ragazza non � niente male, eh,eh eh! :-)
Ciao, passa una buona settimana!
Paolo

macjake (98262) 2011-03-21 11:25

Hi Luciano
yes, happy bday for Italy!
i will have to try the same thing for Canada on July 1st.
what i like about this one, is the shimmering light on the flag, its very nice.
lots of emotion and atmosphere...i'm sure these guys were just looking for an excuse to party!
cheers

The symbolic photo fits perfectly to the occasion. The young woman with.A great shot.

Ciao Lucinao
Great picture to celebrate the Italy day
She is gorgeous
The colors and contrast are excellent
TFS and have a nice day

polpo56 (15146) 2011-03-23 1:02

Ciao Luciano,
un modo fragoroso per festeggiare il 150.mo anniversario dell'unit�... se la gente avesse solo il 50% della passione "da stadio" da dedicare alle problematiche civili, probabilmente avrebbe gi� risolto tutti i problemi sociali; invece ci piace farci adulare da altro... e da altri.

Buona giornata

Ludo

jemaflor (146412) 2011-03-23 12:19

Salut Luciano,
Une photo dynamique et 嶰lair嶪 par un bon coup de flash, les couleurs ressortent bien sur ce fond sombre, les visages sont expressifs, dommage pour les yeux rouge ...

Hansaphotos (11381) 2011-03-24 14:09

Hello Luciano

A late happy b.day to Italy and the Italian people! This is a nice picture to mark the anniversary; full of life and life-affirming joy. Fantastic expressions in the faces. The only thing - sure you know - is the reflection of the blitz in the car, but this is an overall excellent picture. Congratulations!!

Best regards, Erling

alabate (1197) 2011-03-25 15:00

Ciao Luciano,

Une photo originale pour f皻er cet anniversaire.
Tr鋊 beau drapeau et porte-drapeau. Tu as bien su illustrer l'esprit de la f皻e, l𨬓xaltation et la joie.
Le cadre tricolore est une riche id嶪 pour l'occasion. La repr廥entation de croix blanche est superbe dans ce contexte.

Amiti廥, excellente journ嶪,
Adriano

Miha2ou7 (5162) 2011-03-26 12:47

Hey great to see you again Luciano,

That's a nice looking motive there, almost overlooked the fluttering flag above her head.:)
Thanks for sharing.

See you around.

zanzi (13690) 2011-03-27 2:13

Bonjour Luciano
This picture really summarizes Italy.
Probably not easy to take, but you did it great.
Bravo
Chris

agjika (3177) 2011-03-27 7:39

Hi Luciano,
Congratulation on the 150th anivesary. I have to admit I thought Italy was a bit older than that.

You could not have chosen a better photo on this day of great symbolism for you. When I saw it the song "Buongiorno Italia" by Toto Cutugno came to my mind, a song which I rather liked when I was a teen.

Best wishes
Ciao

Aleks

lucian

excellent fast shot, you got the personages in a very nice position, smiling and well positioned. the colors, light and sharpness are perfect and you got this in few seconds. the inclusion of the cross lets say many about italia. in some aspects of its unity italia ia younger than brazil

hugs

Hello Luciano,
Unfortunately, I have no interest in football, because of the sports betting scandals and hooliganism. Your photo is really nice, you can see the joy of the young people great (my sport is Hockey)

Dobro vece.
Interesantan pogled i trenutak u noci, dobar tekst ...
Dobar rad, lepo pokazani slavljenici sa zastavom, dobar kontrast i ostrina, lepe boje, lepo uhvacen trenutak.
Lepa devojka sa osmehom i zastavom u ruci, lep trenutak sa slavlja.
Prijatno vece i mirna noc, sve najbolje.
Paja.

mcmtanyel (67789) 2021-11-23 20:00

Hello Luciano,
A very symbolic photo for the state of affairs in modern Italy (or Europe, for that matter): care-free joviality with a reminder of the millennia of wealth of tradition it is quickly depleting.
