Two weeks ago I talked about my photographic adventure in the Stelvio Natural Park and I told you about that curious Chamois looking at me from distance, probably surprised to see someone around. Here it is the Chamois, silent and quite. I dedicate this post to the fauna preservation and the importance of natural parks. […]
The mystery of the rotten water fountains of Milan.
Milan is city full of small fountains pouring fresh water. During summer these fountains are a blessing for thirsty people but what about the rotten water fountains? The name is not an inviting one but, despite their name, these fountains were a real panacea. There were three of these fountains and all of them were […]
A photographic mission into the wild of the Alps
Today I tell you about a particular photographic mission, planned a while ago but operative only since the dawn of the past Tuesday after having checked for a long time many environmental parameters. Outside the all-terrain vehicle’s windows I saw the first lights of that day, the Como lake, the first white peaks of the […]
Autumn colors.
Autumn inspired poets, painters, photographers and travelers. Autumn is a mixture of emotions and feelings, perhaps a bit melancholic, it’s an explosion of yellow colors in any possible shade and those leaves falling down symbolizing a summer that has gone. Autumn is a great moment to enjoy roasted chestnuts, to enjoy a yellow wood by […]

On the Road.
Every trip brings with it many strong feelings because it takes us outside from our routine. Those feelings passing from the enthusiasm while planning to the adrenaline of the leaving, from the fatigue when kilometres on the road are too many, till that mind status of relax and joy while world is just passing by […]
Life is like a photo.
Today we do not need many words, one phrase, one photo and a smile. “Life is like photography, if you smile it is better”.
Autumn’s dawn.
The sky of an autumn dawn, the Dolomites standing over the clouds, the freezing air of a photo taken at 3000 metres of height. A photo of exactly one year ago. With this photo I want to welcome the autumn. A season rich of colours, when forests begin to change the colour with an intense […]
One hundred years ago at Nova Vas.
Today is not a day like another. Time inexorably goes by, memory grow dim and memories fades away but not today! Today the clock points one hundred years ago. Time passed from that damned 17th September 1916. That date carved into my grandmother’s memory, 103 years old. The age brought away the clearness of her […]
