Palazzo Patrizio: the seagulls

The seagulls make the breathtaking views mesmerising. They add a touch of beauty and of freedom, widening the sensation of space as they fly and hover drawing complex trajectories.

Gentle and not interfering, the seagulls are fearless.

Sometimes they appear in large flocks, squawking and singing. At night they disappear, nesting and squatting the statues of the palace, the chimneys, and the domes of the churches. However at night they might also fly circling the domes of the churches and of the monuments, following  mysterious rites. 
They discovered a silent, panoramic area, far from car traffic, and they made it their home. Can you blame them?
