September is here, the air is clear. The Dolomites stand there close to the sky showing the charm of nature. We live always running, always being in hurry amongst a thousand of meetings and appointments and we lose the contact with nature. That amazing nature that brings meditation and questions without answers. Far away from […]
The volunteers value.
Summer brought me again to the Alps, this time at Pal Piccolo. A mountain cut, up to the top, by the border between Italy and Austria. Once reached the peak we had in front of us the usual horrific and crystallized panorama. Crossing that incredible tangle of trenches, we arrived to what was the first […]
The Christ of the Abyss.
Amongst the many Italian pearls there is San Fruttuoso di Camogli, a tiny village embedded in a small creek that you can reach only by walking on difficult paths or by the sea. It is a place of ancient suggestions with its abbey older more than a thousand years and its incredible stories and legends. […]
Moon reflections.
How many poets, painters, photographers and lovers inspired the moon? Through the centuries and millenniums she had been a silent companion to men clearing up their long nights. In a midsummer night I was on a small harbour dock with the moon just in front of me. I did not resist her glamour, once more, […]
Sailing the sea on board of the U Dragun!
There is a region were the mountains meet the sea. This is Liguria, a region upholder of millenary traditions, amazing landscapes and stories of ancient times. People from here have many centuries of seafaring experience. An experience that brought them to daring ventures that changed the marine history. Camogli is one of the pearls enclosed […]
On Monte Krn peak!
When you enter Slovenia you leave behind concepts such as traffic jam and you enter in incredibly green valleys. Close to the border with Italy flow the waters of the river Soča (fiume Isonzo in Italian). Once you arrive in Kobarid (Caporetto) you can already glimpse the top of Monte Krn. This area during the […]
Goodbye my darling, goodbye!
Custoza, a name that remained impressed into my mind since a friend of mine talked about it. Many times I passed nearby on the highway but this time I decided to stop, to go along those narrow country roads that led me where history of Italy and Europe has been written. “Goodbye my darling, goodbye” […]
On the peaks walking along a via ferrata.
Mountain photography offers amazing panoramas. Maybe one day I will give some tips about how to take photos at high altitude but first it is necessary to climb up there. Along my photographic work “Here They Fought! 1915-1918” I have been on many via ferrata, more or less vertical, and I had the chance to […]
Up there together with the Eagles.
The Queen of the Dolomites arouses fear even if you only glance at it, as it is made of dark rocks jutting out on the emptiness for thousands of metres, with sharp rock spires standing out against the sky, leaving below abysses that close your stomach only to look at them. Marmolada is a fascinating […]
A date with the moon!
“I have a date with the moon, at nine outside the city” these the words of a happy swing song of the thirties interpreted by the Trio Lescano and that I suggest you to listen. Moon inspired poets, singers and lovers from all over the world and from every time being so close and so […]
