Church of San Nicolò, Lazise #2

A few weeks ago I posted a close up on a very impressive fresco, you can see it here.

This is a larger view of the tiny San Nicolò church in Lazise, on the Garda Lake.

It's so simple but yet so particular in its poor features.

Lazise, Garda Lake.

Church of San Nicolò, Lazise

This church in Lazise (Garda Lake) was built in the XII century and dedicated to the Patron Saint of waters and navigators, St. Nicholas (Nicolò). It is rather tiny and simple with no baroque signs whatsoever, no stuccoes, no marbles. Just plain stone with ancient frescoes emerging from under the wall painting.

Here is St. Antony Abbot (on the right), widely venerated in this area as the protector of animals and healer of skin diseases. His left hand holds a rod, symbol of authority, while the right hand makes a blessing with three fingers, as was customary for a bishop.

A cruise on the Garda Lake

One of the ferries of the Garda Lake shipping company is mooring on the pier, on a quiet and sunny afternoon.

Lazise. Lake Garda, one week ago. A quiet walk on the lake shore.

Ferry, bicycle and Vespa

A quiet sunset on the Lake Garda, a few days ago. The temperature was mild and the waters were incredibly still. We watched the ferry as it moored and a lot of passengers stepped on the pier.
