During a roadtrip, we stopped to enjoy the beautiful view of the hills in Tuscany. I took several shots of the landscape, and I thought that the pure nature photos would be the best ones. But it turned out that this small, powerful, and loud Italian car is the one thing that makes this picture pop, because it gives contrast to the calm scenario.

The typical Italian Gothic building, the Cathedral of Florence, is dedicated to “Santa Maria del Fiore”. The church was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio (c1245-1302) who considerably enlarged the existing religious structure. Finished around 1367, the Cathedral was completely covered by coloured marbles like the earlier Baptistery, except for the façade that remained unfinished and was terminated only in the 19th century. - www.museumsinflorence.com

On a trip to Florence, had a chance to capture this from the top of the Duomo, overlooking the city. The trip up the stairs to the top is not a simple one but the view is well worth it.

The cathedral includes the famous Il Duomo, the world’s largest freestanding dome without a supporting wooden frame. Started in 1420 and completed in 1436, it was created by the architect Filippo Brunelleschi.

This picture was taken from the gardens in the heights of Florence. This is probably one of the most peaceful place I know right in the middle of a city : this view is just amazing 😎

I was on my trip to Monaco when I took this picture. I decided to let me go by the little country as I visited unknown places. I just wanted to get lost and to discover amazing places I wouldn’t otherwise have found. So I got to a point where I was completely lost and I just entered into this mysterious but beautiful alley. I just had to take a picture of it.

the best time for me is when I can drive down to Italy special stay in Tuscany - thousand of possibilities to move around and look the beautiful fields and same time enjoy the good food and wines. San Quirico d’Orcia is one of my favorite places - picture we can see the the nice old styling houses with a amazing blue clouds sky.

Hanging out with friends up on the hills near my lovely city, Bologna, Italy. I brought with me my Lensball to take some cool pic and here it is! Love how the snowy landscape reflects inside the ball.

Haciendo un crucero con la familia, nos tocaba visitar Florencia. Ese día había huelga de trenes y no pudimos partir. Por suerte, mirando el mapa, vimos que a tan solo 40 minutos en bus estaba este precioso pueblo pesquero donde su especialidad culinaria se basaba en la salsa de pesto.

During the summer it can be difficult to escape the swarms of tourists that visit the famous seaside towns of Cinque Terre. In order to capture this beautiful photo of Riomaggiore I had to climb to the end of the rock jetty that protects boats in the harbor.

During heat wave this summer my family and I went to Italy. I took colorful photos of landscape, streets, foods & wildlife in Tuscany, Manarola-Cinque Terre & Rome. I came across this woman brave enough to jump into the blue waters of the sea from a cliff. I was lucky to catch the woman in flight. The shot was also in ‘rule-of-thirds’

Shot from a cliff in Cinque Terre, Italy while trying to get closer to some cacti. I just wanted to take that feeling back home with me and since I cand take the sea into a jar a photo had to do.

Hiked to the top of a nearby hill just to get this shot. It was so beautiful we stayed for hours after the sunset, just watching the lights bring out the nightlife.

I was at the top of Mount Subasio, a big mountain in Umbria famous for a little, holy city: Assisi. I was with my friend enjoying the sunset when suddenly 3 horses passed by me and runned away.

Ponte Vittoria Emanuelle II in it’s nightlighting is a beautiful bridge crossing the Tiber in Rome. I saw the bridge with St. Peter’s church in the background and just wanted to freeze the moment in time. The only way to capture the beaty it deserved was by taking an HDR image.

This is a couple understanding where to go in Rome. She has a beautiful flower dress, he wears a vintage hat and in the background there is a man that will play his violin in all white suit. Everything talks about a beautiful day, Rome and Piazza di Spagna.

I was in Rome with my mother and I wanted to show her first Piazza di Spagna. We didn’t know of the festivity of the day. There was the troop playing and thousands of people watching. The music, all the flowers and the hot sun were creating a classic italian summer image. This was like smiling but not expecting to do it.
