Fenesta vascia
“Fenesta vascia” is another traditional Neapolitan song that inspired my new music track now available on Pond5 titled “Till love do us part”: melancholic, lofi beats with electric piano, synth and ambient recording of the sea. It was created with Logic Pro.

I fiori di Dogana Nuova (MO)
Non viaggio molto; conosco pochissimi posti; il monte Abetone mi piace moltissimo. L’ho visto solo una volta con un pochino di neve; il più delle volte, ci vado d’estate per cercare refrigerio. Forse, se non avessi la mia palla al piede personale (a.k.a. Dafne il bulldog) mi sposterei più facilmente e guarderei di più dei…

Usigliano
I don’t really recall how I ended up in Usigliano (province of Pisa); I only know that it was at the end of a brief car tour across the landscape around Crespina, dotted with elegant villas. Of course a short walk, together with my Sony 7II and an adapted Carl Zeiss Contax Tessar 45mm f/2.8…

Since we are all sinners, we don’t deserve a pleasant, relaxing, tranquil walk wandering through the narrow picturesque streets… at least, this is what I must have thought when I decided to photograph it with two cameras, one of which being a not-so-heavy-but-certainly-not-light-either Bronica SQ-A loaded with Porta…

Riomaggiore in Cinqueterre
There isn’t much to see in Riomaggiore, but what is there, is really nice and worth the visit. Getting there by train is basically compulsory. The only pleasant alternative would be by foot from another of the nearby coastal towns belonging to the Cibqueterre strip of land. For my first trip there, I carried my…

Photographing Vernazza, Cinqueterre
An Italian town without Italians If you try and visit Vernazza, as I did in late May 2019, during an overcast day when rain was forecast, you might end up finding yourself in a small village overlooking the sea, crowded with foreign tourists, without any Italians in sight except for those who work there. Why…

Film photography on Mt Abetone
A few notes on Mt Abetone in Tuscany, perhaps useful if you want to visit it, together with some photos I took with a film camera
