Details:
The sky was very clear this morning. So I put my self in the shadow of a building and I tried to see if Venus was visible to the naked eye. And so it was!
Then I decided to try to take a photo of it. I arrived at the foot of the St. Paulus Basilica in Roma around noon, and hidding the sun behind its roof, Venus was visible to the naked eye very easly ... ( because I knew where to find it ).
I am very amazed because the planet is near to the upper conjunction and its elongation is about 9° only.
In few minute I took some photos of it making it appear near the cross of the Basilica. In these images the planet shows its round shape
( of only about 10') because it shows us its whole illuminate face.
