Details:
On the evening of 6 September, the Moon was in the company of Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo, with which it drew a beautiful conjunction visible to the naked eye.
It was a true spectacle to admire them in the twilight lights descending on Todi, in the province of Perugia, reaching the bell tower of the Church of San Fortunato and brushing against that eagle - symbol of the city - placed on its summit.
Although the sky was a but dull, with the arrival of evening the star was easily visible to the naked eye.
Nikon ISO800 1/80s, 1/8s and 1/6s
