I withdraw my nomination Santa Maria sopra Minerva (English: Saint Mary above Minerva, Latin: Sancta Maria supra Minervam) is one of the major churches of the Roman Catholic Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominicans. The church's name derives from the fact that the first Christian church structure on the site was built directly over (Latin: supra) the ruins or foundations of a temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis, which had been erroneously ascribed to the Greco-Roman goddess Minerva.
The church is located in the Piazza della Minerva one block behind the Pantheon in the Pigna rione of Rome, Italy, within the ancient district known as the Campus Martius. The present church and disposition of surrounding structures is visible a detail from the Nolli Map of 1748. All by -- LivioAndronico talk 10:50, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Oppose Sorry, too soft, chromatic noise, cameras and rope are disturbing, ghosts and moving persons too... The "church-interior bar" is now very high, and this picture cannot be a FP in my opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Comment We cannot expect every church interior to be a Diliff. I would support this one if a) the crop would be symmetric (which can be helped) and b) the right half would be as sharp as the left one (which cannot, it’s definitely unsharp. Maybe you ought to have this lens serviced.). --Kreuzschnabel 21:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Donethanks Kreuzschnabel ,tell me if is better in this way. Regards --LivioAndronico talk 00:01, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Weak support Right side looks a bit overprocessed now, but considering the high resolution, it reaches FP level for me. Altogether a really nice shot. Would like to have some explanation of the TV cameras though on the description page. TV service starting soon? --Kreuzschnabel 08:30, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the support Kreuzschnabel, however, the Pope Francis came to the anniversary of the canonization of Saint Catherine of Siena (which is buried under the altar). --LivioAndronico talk 11:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
