This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel-nothing finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself. — David Herbert Lawrence Many people see Sardinia as a small continent in itself, because of its unique variety of landscapes, wildlife, traditions, people and food. Interested in touring Sardinia with two experienced professional photographers? Then have a …

First Snow
A couple weeks ago, a little snow fell on the hills just south of where I live, so I took a drive one late afternoon, trying to catch some of it, before it all melted. As usual, by best winter images are made at dusk, when the blue sky light reflects off the snow on the ground and contrasts with …
If You Like The Cinque Terre, You Will Love This
There is no doubt that the Cinque Terre are one the most sought after locations in the Italian Riviera and the one that attracts the most tourists, but that stretch of coastline that extends from Genoa to the gulf of La Spezia has many gems that are less known, but not even one bit less charming. From Genoa to Camogli, …
I Go Weak In The Presence Of Beauty
This was another one of those serendipitous discoveries. Me and a friend were driving up and down the hills, trying to find the exact location of an image I had seen online a few days earlier. While we did find the spot, we couldn’t get much out of it. First, our main subject, a castle, was quite distant and there …
Something Different

Tellaro
Tellaro is just another one of those picturesque Ligurian villages by the sea. It is just a few kilometers south of Cinque Terre, so it is a perfect destination for those wanting to extend their trip there to the surrounding areas. It is also a great spot for summer sunsets, when the setting sun hits the houses and the church …
Reparto Mobile Carabinieri
Excuse the pun, possibly understandable only to Italians. The Carabinieri are one of Italy’s police forces and Reparto Mobile refers to a mobile, that is motorized, unit. Here, however, mobile… well, you know what I mean. I shot this in Venice, during Trey Ratcliff’s recent photowalk there. My attention was attracted by the four Carabinieri, who were intent on checking their smartphones, until one of them …
The Last Days of Summer
Camogli is a fantastic little town nested between the mountains and the sea and, with the right light, its colors can be awe inspiring. I was lucky to get there one late afternoon at the end of September, when the sun in the west was lighting up the houses on the waterfront, all painted in tones of red and yellow, …
The Drama Unfolds
I just returned home from too short a trip to Tuscany, where I went to meet some online friends for the first time in real life, show them a bit of the country and take some photos too. Unfortunately, the Saturday was plagued by bad weather and constant rain, so we did a visit to the city of Siena, hopping …
