11 Dec 2012 - Section Sant'Ambrogio snowfall has been created

After a brief snowfall on Sant'Ambrogio I had to take the chance to capture some pictures ofMilan covered by the snow. However, this time I decided to stay in my home surroundings: it is not necessary to go far away, it suffice to pay attention to what is surrounding us...

11 Dec 2012 - Section Artisans Fair has been created

After stopping for a few months (and no pictures about autumn) I finally managed to upload something new. Ideas are many, but unfortunately time is short. In this gallery you will find some pictures taken at the Artisans Fair which is held every year in Milan during Sant'Ambrogio week. A few shots taken an evening during the week, when in theory it should not be so croudy... In theory...

25 Sep 2012 - Section Milano Fashion Design 2012 has been created

I uploaded some photos taken during Fashion Week which recently finished in Milan. Unfortunately, no portraits during make-up and hair-styling this time (you can find some shots from past editions in MMD - Backstage, Fashion week and B&W portraits sections), but only some shots from fashion shows organized by Mondadori and other sponsors for Milano Fashion Design, in Libertu Square. Better than nothing...

23 Sep 2012 - Section Orchids has been created

Last week I had the chance to take pictures of some among the most interesting flowers: orchids. Colorful, complex and full of details: another opportunity to put to the test my new Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro. This time I didn't even need to go out, all I needed was a tripod, sunlight (but not too much) and a little of patience...

14 Set 2012 - Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro>> read

Since I didn't find much information about it, I decided to write a few lines to describe my impressions about my last purchase: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro lens. No graphics nor lab tests, just a practical description and some pictures to see the performance of this lens, ideal not only for macrophotography. Currently this article is only available in Italian version, but it will be translated soon.

While waiting for some additional photo taken in the Marche here are those taken during the last week-end: two days in Gran Paradiso Park, more precisely in the region between Pont Valsavarenche, Colle del Nivolet and Colle Leynir. Beautiful landscapes, made of mountains, glaciers and lakes, and a rich local fauna, with marmots, hermines, ibexes, chamoises and foxes.

23 Jul 2012 - Section Alpe Devero - Passo della Rossa has been created

After Autumn experience here is the return to Alpe Devero, this time in Summer: these photos have been taken during the excursion which starts and ends on Alpe Devero plain, after a steep climb up to Passo della Rossa and Passo di Crampiolo. The landscape is constantly changing: going up the rich vegetation becomes more and more sparse, leaving room to a landscape made of red rocks and snow, dominated by sharp mountains, while the descent reveals Devero Lake green valley.

12 Jul 2012 - From Castelluccio di Norcia to Pilato Lakes (Italian version)>> read

In this article (currently only in Italian version) I will tell you about the route that leads to discover the misterious Pilato Lakes, leaving Castelluccio di Norcia and going through Forca Viola, after walking on some of Sibillini Mounts highest peaks. It is an excursion where your eyes will linger between the lakes valley, which descends down to Foce, and the magnificent scenery of Castelluccio plain, which offers the flowering spectacle between June and July.

20 Jul 2012 - Update

I created Pilato Lakes section inside the gallery, including some pictures about the excursion and something more.
