L'uomo non sa di più degli altri animali; ne sa di meno. Loro sanno quel che devono sapere. Noi, no.

Two steps in the evening, trampling the lands that belonged to Matilde di Canossa, at that time of day when the solar soul is quiet, the light of the great Star goes into hiding, and the imagination is populated by those creatures that during the day they have been holed up in dark labyrinths, far away from our earthly, patient,...

There is a geography of thought: there are the mild and temperate areas, the most crowded; the hot and cold, already much less inhabited; finally, the areas of the equator and permanent snow, suns and intolerable ice, where only a few, and for a short time, venture.

Portrait of Miriam Gargiulo in Milan

Nel reale si rischia di soffocare, nell'irreale di perdersi.

Una bella e significativa immagine di Dorothea Lange, grande fotografa americana nata a Hoboken in New Jersey il 26 maggio del 1895.

La bellezza ha sempre quel magnetismo che ti incanta e ti seduce dolcemente, ti disarma e ti cattura, senza l'uso della forza ! Ma se cediamo alle lusinghe, se entriamo in questo mercato, in questa fiera delle vanità e delle illusioni, rischiamo di rimanerne impantanati, inghiottiti dalle sabbie mobili, come in una palude delle apperenze,...

"Anche voi venite impiegati come pietre vive per la costruzione di un edificio spirituale" (Pietro).

A small boat trip along the last stretch of the Arno river allows you to enjoy wonderful views, also populated by many animals (deer, horses, wild boars). Once at the mouth, the seascape then offers suggestive visions of the buildings of the fishermen.

Sunset towards the Groppi di Camporaghena in Lunigiana this evening. When I see these landscapes, I chase them like a hunter chases his prey, and feed on their beauty to the last drop of light. I would perish inexorably without these visions, the best antioxidants against the wear and tear of life !

I pass quietly, with my dligence. Your eyes are Indian, on the assault.

The encounter with an unknown animal which, like a lighthouse in the night, attracts attention with an intermittent light.

The world today is full of abandonment experts, will it perhaps be the poetic and disastrous charm of these shreds of recent history, so much too recent, so much so as to worry us and question ourselves about our near future? Could it be the warning that these places send out to fascinate? Will our lives one day be like...

Un paesaggio incantevole, una delle zone rimaste ancora piuttosto "selvagge" del nostro appennino, luoghi che proprio per questo amo in particolar modo. Una grandiosa veduta sull'aspra bellezza del monte Pareto e sulla sua scoscesa Ripa Nera, che la luce radente del sole mette in bella evidenza. Questo versante scende ripido sulla Val Pessola,...

Piana Grande, Castelluccio di Norcia - Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini (Umbria)

Strength, courage and enthusiasm, this is what a waterfall gives me. They are places full of energy that I would never want to leave. It announces itself from afar, with its unmistakable roaring sound which is a battle drum, it makes the heart beat loudly in the chest and fills the lungs with fresh and crisp air, an irresistible call...

The best photographic tool that a professional or amateur photographer can have at their disposal is always the same: the most indispensable, the cheapest, the most effective, yet no shop sells it.
