Description

This is the real photo without so much manipulation for Halloween(which was great fun!). It was shot last Sunday in a small town not far from Padova. Scorzè is a town in the province of Venice, in the Veneto region of northeast Italy. In the Middle Ages, the town was a centre for leather tanning, and the tanners or scorzeri in the Venetian language, gave the town its name. It is first mentioned by Pope Eugene III in a papal bull of 1152. In 1338 it was annexed by Venice, and in 1815 it became part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1866 it became part of Italy together with the Veneto region. The 50-metres high belfry was built in the 16th century, well before the 18th century church. Thank you for your kind comments.
