Palmyra is dead. The news is about few days old, maybe one week or a bit more. The video of explosions in the archaeological site is not the first one nor will it be the last of this human idiocy. Can you imagine? The guardian of the archaeological site has been killed because he refused […]
From the self-portrait to the selfie is only one way!
The selfie mania is in full swing, social networks such as facebook are completely invaded of them. Selfies are just everywhere.

Behind Expo2015 there is a great job!
When they were building up the exposition site of the international exhibition Expo2015, we heard every kind of criticism. We can clearly say that Italians love to criticise haphazardly, wrongly believing that outside our national borders we could find the so called, and desired, El Dorado made of simple perfection.

Travel Log: Kiev, the Majdan days and Yanukovych’s residence.
Here we are with the third post about Kiev. The Majdan clashes were the days of rebellion and protest against the former president Yanukovych. To understand those days and how the population felt them, one walk over the Majdan square is enough. There are candles everywhere. Pictures of fallen demonstrators placed where they were killed. […]
Travel Log: Kiev and the war seen through kids’ perspective.
Here we are with the second of four episodes about the great trip to Kiev. For many reasons that don’t concern this blog we had the luck of being accompanied by some locals. People highly cordial and helpful like the majority of the people we have met even if sometime the linguistic barrier is an […]
Travel Log: Destination Kiev.
This post is divided in more “episodes” and in concomitance with the last one will be available a photographic gallery of these interesting days passed in Kiev. Let us start the adventure: Most common question that people asked me each time I told I was going to Kiev, Ukraine, was “why are you ending up […]
