I did not know that Ascoli Piceno is an interesting town.
Now that I visited it, I know.
Besides medieval churches and Renaissance palaces, it also offers a wide variety of typical food and drinks - an aspect which is represented here by the famous historical Caffè Meletti.
It is followed clockwise by the Palazzo dei Capitani del Popolo, dating back to the XIII century, with a big statue of Pope Paolo III towering above the main entrance.
Next comes San Francesco, not the town/s cathedral, but a huge church indeed. Here, above the side entrance, you see a towering monument to Pope Giulio II.
From the few notices reported you may infer that Ascoli was well inside the old Papal state...

I tried to do the same pano last summer, but I had little time and I did not succeed. Ascoli Piceno is a very nice town.
Christoph: good that you see, or at least generously imagine, perfection!
The 31132x6757 original does not fit any site, but I will next upload on the dying (if not already dead, I do not understand) Panoramio a version large enough to see the problems, of course affecting mainly the unwieldy cablework over the square. For the buildings I was able to achieve a remarkable coherence, especially given the shooting conditions. All was done freehand, and even in a hurry, since my friends were waiting for me in the historical Caffè Meletti. I employed several multiple shots and dozens of masks - mainly for some critical features of the buildings, surely not for the double child at the beginning! Namely, I sometimes like these presences.
Blue hour and the building with its warm lights form a wonderful combination.
Cheers Werner
