The past Sunday was the closing day of Franconiphotos’ exhibition: “Si combatteva qui!” (Here they fought). To make a balance is difficult because the feelings involved are many. At half past five p.m. on Sunday, under the soft lights of the exhibition’s room, I closed the visitors’ book I opened on September third. From that […]
A pray for Paris and a hymn to the value of freedom!
It has been a while now that I’m engaged with a photographic path which aim is to show the costs of divisions and conflicts with only one purpose: never repeat the mistake of war! Watching this real time photos coming from Paris, suffering the apprehension to know if my friends from Paris are alive or […]
Goodbye Expo!
Goodbye Expo Milan 2015, your months passed fast. You started within critics but you showed that Italy can do it! You destroyed the polemics on the field with its millions of visitors, the entire city packed with people, thousands of collateral events inside and outside the expo site, a first level security system run by […]
Nora: Tribute to Palmyra.
Palmyra is dead. The news is about few days old, maybe one week or a bit more. The video of explosions in the archaeological site is not the first one nor will it be the last of this human idiocy. Can you imagine? The guardian of the archaeological site has been killed because he refused […]
From the self-portrait to the selfie is only one way!
The selfie mania is in full swing, social networks such as facebook are completely invaded of them. Selfies are just everywhere. The outstretched arm is released, alone or in a group, at the restaurant or while climbing rocks, the mobile phone is in the hands and, yey! Let’s go with a photo, and so here […]
Behind Expo2015 there is a great job!
When they were building up the exposition site of the international exhibition Expo2015, we heard every kind of criticism. We can clearly say that Italians love to criticise haphazardly, wrongly believing that outside our national borders we could find the so called, and desired, El Dorado made of simple perfection. I travelled enough and I […]
On holiday, while having adventures, don’t forget to think about your safety!
Summer is already here with its heat. Most of you are probably ready to go on holiday. Some of you will have some adventure in that place that is by this time far away to most of the people: the nature. Yet nature is still here and has never stopped to do its main job: […]
The long friendship between humans and pets.
I think that I can say quite for certain that the history of humanity sees a very tight friendship between humans and cats and dogs. In fact these ones, even if with very different behaviours, accompany lot of us in our daily lives giving us many funny and pleasant moments. In some cases, this friendship […]
Travel Log: Kiev, a city that must be explored. Goodbye.
Finally, here we are with the closing post about Kiev. The question that may arise in your mind after reading all these posts could be “so, what to see in Kiev?” One area that you cannot miss and that you must visit is Pecherska Lavra district. Here you can admire a monastery that has in […]
Travel Log: Kiev, the Majdan days and Yanukovych’s residence.
Here we are with the third post about Kiev. The Majdan clashes were the days of rebellion and protest against the former president Yanukovych. To understand those days and how the population felt them, one walk over the Majdan square is enough. There are candles everywhere. Pictures of fallen demonstrators placed where they were killed. […]
