Liguria is a region studded with ancient villages, more or less popular, by the shore or on the cliffs. Climate is various. You can find sunny and warm winter days by the sea as ice and fog covering the inland between canyons and forgotten pits. This winter is not that usual, perhaps the unusual got […]
London by night under the dim lights of Brexit.
It’s the first time that I go back to London after the Brexit referendum. Thinking that in the future it will be probably out of the Union is a painful thought.
