Travel to Italy (1)

“...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?” (Vincent Van Gogh)

Lungotevere at night. Rome, 17 November 2019

I have never been an expert in landscape or tourist photography. So, it makes me smile at the many requests of my friends to see even a little bit of Italy, not always Asia or at least foreigners in Rome. After all, it has been my life for ten years, if I took pictures of the cities, it was just as a side filler for other activities. 

Of course, Rome is my city, but I rarely felt like going out specifically to photograph it.

But, isn't it also true that photographs are boats that bring people where we want? And now, when travel has become an unknown factor, we never know when we will be able to do it again. 

So, how? Everything has become more difficult, so it's fine, why not...

Don't take these photographs of mine as something serious and exhaustive of the cities that I show you, but simply as postcards from my Italy, for you who are isolated in the walls of your home, far and curious.

Sit down, breathe a sigh and let's go...

I hope to give you a nice trip.
