The curious Chamois.
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.

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 […]
