Details:
Definitely, it had passed too much time since a near -8mag Iridium Flare, but this was an opportunity that I did not want to miss!
From a right angle, the Hunter (Orion constellation), the Flare (Iridium 94 satellite, right antenna) and the Leaning Tower of Pisa were all together in the same field of view!
And what a flare, it was like a really big (artificial) shooting star that lit that part of the sky for a moment! A truly amazing technological show!
