Massimo Theater in Palermo. The largest opera theater in Italy and the third largest in Europe. The large entrance staircase, the Corinthian style columns, the two bronze lions flanking the entrance and the hemispherical dome that tops the upper part of the structure stand out. Image of the theater and its surroundings on a rainy August morning. People in motion, as well as some "ghosts" product of the union of individual photographs, have been blurred in the final development of the image.
