Stockholm: a mid summer day dream
“Why would you go to Stockholm in summer??” asks my Italian colleague, (only half) joking. Of course, coming from the country of “dolce vita”, wrapped in endless sunshine, pink oleanders, ripe oranges falling on the streets, the azzuro of the … Continue reading

Sunday feeling in Oostende
Odette Toulemonde, the protagonist of the Belgian movie with the same name, reminds me of Amelie Poulain. Odette finds happiness in little things and in helping others; she levitates when she is happy (a sur-realistic touch which I find adorable). Her … Continue reading

Magic and fairy tales
I love fairy tales! Although by now I have my doubts about happily ever after, that all it takes is to be a princess and that the biggest enemy of happiness is a wicked mother in law. Without any intention … Continue reading

Street photography on Charles Bridge in Prague
Charles Bridge in Prague is one of the most crowded touristic places ever, the kind of places I usually avoid. Big crowds really put me off. But on this summer trip to Prague I found myself spending almost two hours … Continue reading

In a (nut)shell
These photos were taken during a weekend trip on the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria, at Tyulenovo and Krapetz. I was there with friends, we crossed the border from Romania to Bulgaria at night and got lost driving on dark … Continue reading

My first star trails photo…or how I spent 1.141 seconds of my life
It was almost midnight and my friends have all gone to bed, that is in their tents. It was a long day, we hiked into the wild scenery of Retezat mountains (Romania), up to around 2500 m altitude, through bouldery … Continue reading

Brussels dream
They say you don’t have to go far away to find good subjects to photograph. Even a walk in the neighborhood provides many photographic opportunities. I think the key word is “walk”. And this is what I did also when … Continue reading

The rhythm of Lisbon
When I got to Jardim da Estrela, where the OutJazz festival was supposed to take place, I was already dead tired. It was one of those days that seems to be made especially to prove the relativity of time. One … Continue reading

Cadiz and the photo I didn’t take
There is something about traveling by myself, about solitary train rides, about days spent wandering in a foreign place in the sole company of my vague thoughts that gives me that blurred feeling between pleasant tiredness and melancholy, between mellowness … Continue reading
Geneva or why do all good things come to an end?
Let’s face it: stereotypes exist. And – to paraphrase an old comedy – they are well and alive and living in my apartment. But now I want to talk about national stereotypes, the kind that make the punch line of … Continue reading
Vielas de Alfama
“Vielas de Alfama Beijadas pelo luar Quem me dera lá morar Pra viver junto do fado” I must say I don’t understand a word of this, but when I hear it sang by Mariza, with her unmistakeable rugged voice, who … Continue reading

Postcard from Lisbon
Old yellow trams crammed with people, crawling noisily on steep narrow streets in bohemian neighborhoods are an iconic image of Lisbon. But even when taking an iconic photo, it requires more effort than I thought: to find a good viepoint, … Continue reading

Changing light…
One of the things I love about photography is that it makes you slow down and watch, I mean really watch the things that surround you, be attentive to details and then let the images come to you, pressing the … Continue reading
Moonlight drive
The photo was taken on the volcanic island of Stromboli, in the Tyrrhenian sea. Like many other of my photos it was either inspired or it made me think of a song; this one by The Doors: “Let’s swim to … Continue reading
