Italy Milky Way above the Church of Santa Zita – Passo Vezzena
A stunning high-altitude location in northern Italy, where the Church of Santa Zita meets the infinite sky.
This photo captures the Milky Way rising above the quiet plateau of Passo Vezzena, a peaceful and remote mountain pass in Trentino. The solitude, the clarity of the sky, and the simplicity of the small church create the perfect scene for nightscape photography.
This spot is ideal during the summer Milky Way season and offers a 360° view of the surrounding landscape.
