"Own Work"

Please don't label photographs of paintings as "own work", even if you're the one who took the photograph. Thank you. DS (talk) 14:57, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

DS Sorry this is a fault of Upload Wizard that I cannot fix. 🤷🏻 --Sailko (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Manetto da Firenze

Ciao, non che sia un problema, ma a me risulta che Manetto da Firenze sia santo. Syrio posso aiutare? 21:43, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

User:Syrio mi pareva di averci letto B. nell'iscrizione non S. Io l'ho sentito dire come beato Manetto, ma ci sta che nel frattempo sia diventato santo 😜 annulla pure se credi 👍🏻--Sailko (talk) 22:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Ah nell'iscrizione c'è assolutamente scritto B! L'accuratezza agiografica di quegli affreschi non è esattamente altissima :D , ma comunque è santo (come tutti i sette santi fondatori) dal 1888. -- Syrio posso aiutare? 22:08, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Museo Delle Civiltà

Hello again!

As you may or may not recall, you and I previously talked before about Mesoamerican (Aztec, Maya etc) art you photographed at the Pitti Palace as well as from the French Quai Branly museum. I'm reaching out again because there's a temporary exhibit at the Museo Delle Civilta in Rome that ends on February 16th, with a piece on display that I and another Mesoamerican history enthusiast are interested in getting photos of for Wikimedia.

I realize Florence is a few hours away from Rome, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions of other Wikimedia contributing Photographers in Italy who live closer to the Museum who may be willing to go, or if I cannot find one, if you'd still be open to maybe traveling: I as well as my friend would be happy to pay you to compensate you for your time.

Please let me know!

MajoraZ (talk) 01:22, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Dear MajoraZ in Rome I may suggest User:Lalupa or you can leave a message in the projetc about Rome in it. wiki (it:Discussioni_progetto:Roma). As regards me, there's only a week before closure, and next week I may have only a free day from work on Thursday... maybe if you do not find anyone you could get me a train ticket from Florence to Rome? We can discuss this in the next days. Best regards --Sailko (talk) 08:53, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I will reach out to Lalupa. If they or the other people I am in touch with can't go, then yes, I'm potentially willing to pay you for train tickets. How much would those cost? Also, what sort of camera would you have access to?

MajoraZ (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

MajoraZ can you send me an email? Use the botton "email this user". --Sailko (talk) 13:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Grazie di aver pensato a me, Sailko, ma sono ormai quasi 7 anni che sono fuggita a Milano, e a Roma non vado praticamente più, messa in fuga da turisti e pellegrini. Ti ringrazio cmque, di nuovo, x l'associazione Roma/Lalupa :-). Buona vita. --Lalupa (talk) 15:57, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

RE:

Ho letto il contributo su Andrea di Onofrio. Mi sembra del tutto coerente ciò che tu hai scritto per la voce. Resta qua e là ancora un po' di confusione su Andrea Guardi....ma se vuoi sapere la mia, questo a Napoli non c'è mai venuto. Il "nostro" Andrea è il di Onofrio. Nella mia vita non sono mai riuscito a entrare nella cappella Santa Monica, se mai ci riuscirò farò la foto anche a quel monumento funebre che manca su commons.

Con l'occasione volevo chiederti una cosa in merito a questa foto [1] che hai caricato. Sto riscrivendo la voce sulla collezione Lancellotti di Roma e verosimilmente potrei ritenere il quadro appartenuto (o addirittura appartenente alla collezione romana). Ci andai anche io alla mostra di Paolini e consultando la targhetta del quadro questa indicava semplicemente "collezione privata". La domanda è: per caso tu comprasti il catalogo della mostra, da cui poter evincere eventualmente qualche informazione in più?

Ci si becca in giro. Grazie e a presto. o'Sistemone^{tell me} 16:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

scusa pensavo di scrivere su WIkipedia IT--o'Sistemone^{tell me} 16:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Ciao Sistemone! Grazie per il parere.. mi sa che se le fonti online sono così scarse e zeppe di errori difficilmente riusciremo a districare. Anche perché lo scultore fiorentino era fondamentalmente uno scalpellino, che faceva porte e capitelli, mi sembra strano che mette piede a Napoli e gli affidano il più importante complesso scultoreo... Su Paolini, mi psiace ma non ho il catalogo. Ci andrei cauto, perché quella mostra è famigerata, come ben sai... ;) --Sailko (talk) 19:29, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Mamma mia quella mostra...no comment guarda! o'Sistemone^{tell me} 21:55, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

File:Bernardo daddi, santa reparata davanti a decio, 1340 ca. (met).jpg

Hi, Sailko! Can you tell me if the file mentioned above refers to a painting that is on display in the Museo civico (Prato) or in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Thank you in advance. Greetz! Bukk (talk) 09:34, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Bukk! I shot this picture in a temporary exhibition in Prato, but the paintings belongs to the MET. BTW thanks for your work fixing images templates and linking to wikidata. I really appreciate --Sailko (talk) 09:36, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

ok, so we leave it to the MET ownership. Greetz! Bukk (talk) 12:30, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Alessandro Fei

Ciao @Sailko, mi puoi confermare che questa Ascensione è di Alessandro Fei? Nella descrizione è rimasto scritto Ludovico Buti. Lascio correggere a te, se hai tempo. Buon wiki, Una tantum (talk) 12:43, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Statua romana da OSTRA non OSTIA

Ciao Sailko, questa statua viene da Ostra antica (nelle Marche), non da Ostia. Accurimbono (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Ops 🙊Grazie per la correzione --Sailko (talk) 13:57, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Prego, io ci abito vicino e la questione di questa statua che è stata "venduta" quando la legge non proteggeva i beni archeologici italiani, è molto sentita. Pensa che ne hanno fatto una copia nel locale museo archeologico.

Ero anche andato a Ginevra tanti anni fa per vederla, dovrei avere una foto nel PC ma è venuta peggio della tua, altri tempi e altre macchine digitali. :) Accurimbono (talk) 14:03, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Restoring the two "The Enchanted World" categories

Hi. Please stop removing Category:The Enchanted World artists (and Category:The Enchanted World) from various category pages about one artist after another. And that goes for Yann, too. There is a reason why this important category is there to stay on those category pages. If you look closely at the Picture Credits section within the last few pages of each and every single solitary installment of the Time-Life book series, The Enchanted World, you can see that they forgot to put Christoforo de Predis's name into the Picture Credits section for the De Sphaera illustrations that appears on pages 90-93 of the The Enchanted World: Wizards and Witches book, for instance. Sooner or later, I will restore the Arthur Rackham category page, the Akseli Gallen-Kallela category page, the John William Waterhouse category page, and so on just by readding the "The Enchanted World artists" category. As for the "The Enchanted World" category, I will restore the various picture files of various illustrations and paintings that appear in the The Enchanted World: Wizards and Witches book, the very first installment of the Time-Life's The Enchanted World book series, along with the other illustrations and paintings that appear in the other installments, like The Enchanted World: Dragons, The Enchanted World: Fairies and Elves, The Enchanted World: Ghosts, and so on. Now, remember this warning I'm laying before you. Don't go around removing the two "The Enchanted World" categories, or someone else will block your account. That is a fair warning I'm laying before you. Besides, you needed to be taught a lesson. and by the way. Please let me finish the job of restoring the two "The Enchanted World" categories, if you do grant me my request. Okay? You got that? Thanks.

@2600:1700:EA50:7FD0:396F:BB43:9DCB:A15D: Hi, the categories do not exist, so unless you create them and explain what they are about there is no reason to have it in files. So please first create the category and explain theire meaning there. Thank you. --Sailko (talk) 20:18, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

This vandalism is going on for quite some time, so I blocked Special:Contributions/2600:1700:EA50:7FD0:0:0:0:0/64 for a year. Yann (talk) 20:51, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion request for Category:David of the Casa Martelli

Hello, Sailko. I saw your speedy deletion request for this category. Normally, you would empty the category before making the request. I moved the contents for you, but for future requests, please move the contents yourself before requesting deletion. Thanks. -- Auntof6 (talk) 20:46, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes, thank you Auntof6, I know, I just glitched while uploading and fixing category at the same time. --Sailko (talk) 14:15, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Reset of my edit

Hi @Sailko,

you have reset my edit for File:Da michelangelo, leda e il cigno, post 1530 (national gallery) 01.jpg and I am curious as to why that is? Now the image is lacking the short description again, but maybe there is a good reason for that which I can learn from? Thanks in advance for explaining. XDW96 (talk) 20:39, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

XDW96 Please be accurate in spelling when you describe something, as if you mispell it will look like a vandalism (Michelangelo's, not Michelangelos). --Sailko (talk) 21:09, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah, that's what it was. My head autocorrects when I am reading and I was under the impression of having put the ' in. Thank you! XDW96 (talk) 21:40, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Your request

Hi. Yesterday, I was together with User:DerHexer and User:DCB at the church, you have asked for do took a picture of a Renaissance statue fragment in Berlin. We were there right in time, the church opens beyond religious events only for a few hours on saturday for the public. Problem: even it was announces, both generally and specifically for this day, nobody was there and the church was closed. I (or we) will try it next weekend for a second time. Marcus Cyron (talk) 14:13, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Marcus Cyron I want to thank you all so much so trying. Even if you did not find the church open I owe you a favor :) --Sailko (talk) 14:16, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Your pictures are the favor. I owe you for your work a lot! Marcus Cyron (talk) 14:27, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Anna Maria Torlonia by Tadolini

Hi Sailko. Your photo of the plaster bust of Anna Maria Torlonia in the Palazzo Braschi (File:Giulio tadolini, busto di anna maria torlonia, 1880-90 ca., in gesso.jpg) identifies the artist as Giulio Tadolini, but another photo of the same bust (File:Pal Braschi - Anna Maria Torlonia (Tadolini) P1090730.JPG) identifies the artist as Adamo Tadolini. I thought this was just a slip by the user who uploaded the second photo, but then I saw that the label on the wall next to the bust does indeed attribute it to Adamo (or did in 2015, when that photo was taken). On the other hand, but the web site of the Museo di Roma says Giulio. From the dates it appears that the label on the wall must be wrong and that you and the web site much be correct: Adamo Tadolini died in 1868, when Anna Maria Torlonia was only 13, and she is clearly much older than that in the bust. (Giulio lived until 1918.) I'm planning to change the description of the second photo and move it to the category for works by Giulio, but I thought I'd ask you beforehand if you have anything to add, since you photographed this bust just a couple of years ago. Thanks, Crawdad Blues (talk) 15:48, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi Crawdad Blues. Sorry for late reply. I checked the caption I photographer in the museum and it states: "Giulio Tadolini, bust of Anna Maria Torlonia, 1880-1890, plaster, MR 40287. Donated by Enrico Tadolini, 1938". Hope this helps :) --Sailko (talk) 12:30, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm sure that's right. The other photographer hasn't replied to my query, so I've gone ahead and changed the attribution on the other file to Giulio and moved it to the appropriate category. Cheers, Crawdad Blues (talk) 22:00, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Fotografie di Beni Culturali Italiani

Ciao Sailko, volevo caricare delle fotografie da me scattate di beni culturali Italiani come tu fai già da tempo. Volevo sapere se prima di caricarle hai chiesto autorizzazione all'istituzione o le hai caricate direttamente con l'Italy-MiBAC-disclaimer e la tua licenza (cc-by-sa-3.0. o 4.0). Grazie. Niketto sr.
