Milano, here we are! It took me almost 13 years before I could come back to the city where I’ve studied and lived for three years, from years 2003 to 2006. I have to admit, I’m not a fan of this city, but I cannot ignore the fact that is the only real big city in Italy, undoubtedly, the only city with a vibrant and dynamic life that flows between its streets. Comparing to 13 years ago, Milano has grown […]
Recently I was in Italy for a very short trip over the weekend and during that time I spent one day and one night in Bologna., in the Emilia Romagna region, just an hour far (by train) from Milan. It was not the first time for me, actually, I did the military service in Bologna, just around 20 years ago! Woow, time flies… Since then, I never came back and, 20 years ago, I was not even close to being […]
A sneak preview of the photo shooting I had today, totally immersed in a beautiful forest somewhere in Luxembourg. A very special place that seems to be coming out of a fairytale. Autumn is definitely the best time of the year to enjoy the green areas all over the country. The nature shows so many shades of warm colours and the underwood is full of different types of mushrooms. Guess, where am I?

As already mentioned in my earlier post about Cordova, the Mezquita is the most famous spot of this nice city in Andalusia, other than being the most important testimonies in Islamic culture in Europe. In this post, I show you my best 15 photos I have taken with my Leica SL 15 Photos of the Mezquita de Cordoba – 1 – – 2 – – 3 – – 4 – – 5 – – 6 – – 7 – – 8 […]
La terza tappa del mio viaggio on the road in Andalusia, è la storica città Cordova, serenamente adagiata lungo il fiume Guadalquivir e ai piedi della Sierra Morena. A differenze delle più dinamiche Granada e Siviglia, Cordoba infatti è molto tranquilla. La vita intorno alla maestosa Mezquita e tra i vicoli del quartiere arabo de la Juderia, nominato Patrimonio dell’Umanità dall’Unesco, scorre ad un ritmo blando e tranquillo. Cordova in un giorno? Si, la città di Cordova si potrebbe visitare anche […]
The third stop of my trip on the road to Andalusia is the historic city of Cordova, serenely lying along the Guadalquivir river and at the foot of the Sierra Morena. In contrast to the most dynamic Granada and Seville, Cordoba is in fact very quiet. Life around the majestic Mezquita and in the alleys of the Jewish quarter of Juderia, named World Heritage by Unesco, runs at a mild and quiet pace. Cordova in one day? Yes, the city of […]
Oggi vi porto con me per una piacevole passeggiata tra le eleganti e colorate stradine di Hoi An, in Vietnam. Dichiarata patrimonio dell’umanità dall’UNESCO, come esemplare ben conservato di porto commerciale sud-orientale, questa piccola città ha subito nei secoli diverse influenze dalle popolazioni straniere che vi si insediarono, come portoghesi, olandesi, indiani, cinesi e giapponesi. Il delizioso centro storico infatti, oltre ad avere una forte atmosfera vietnamita, mostra una fusione unica di tradizione locale ed influenza straniera. In giro con una Leica M Ovviamente […]
Today I take you outside for a pleasant walk through the elegant and colorful streets of Hoi An, Vietnam. Declared UNESCO World Heritage Site as a well preserved southeastern commercial port, this small city has been subjected to influences by foreign settlers such as Portuguese, Dutch, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese. In fact, the delightful historical center, in addition to having a strong Vietnamese atmosphere, shows a unique fusion of local tradition and foreign influence. Chilling around with a Leica M […]
After telling you about my experience in Granada, today I bring you into an authentic wonder of architecture and history, declared Unesco’s Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1984: the Alhambra. (I will not write here the history of this place as you can easily read it on Wikipedia.) Instead, I want to describe it through the photos I took with my Leica SL and consequently through the emotions I felt, the environments, atmospheres, and details that struck me most. Most of […]
The first city I visited in the Andalusian region is Granada, one of the most important provinces and home of the famous Alhambra, an ancient Arab citadel (medina), then conquered by Christians and now an UNESCO’s Cultural Heritage. In this city, with a strong Moroccan atmosphere, there is so much to see and, above all, to explore, but beware, it is also full of climbs and downs, so be well trained! Arrived late in the evening, after the desert of […]
