Poorly connected by public transport, out-of-the-way from the routes connecting the main towns of Emilia-Romagna, Comacchio is a little-known gem of northern Italy.The cities and towns crossed by canals are charming and picturesque, aren’t they? I’m not thinking of Venice’s uniqueness (don’t believe to characterizations like “the Venice of the north” or south or whatever,...
I love hiking. It is one of the things I enjoy doing the most. I love the physical fatigue it causes me. I don’t mind the ache in my muscles the day after a hike. I cherish the feeling of freedom, the closeness to nature and every single breath of fresh air I can gasp...

Happy New Year!One year ago, more or less these days, I was planning my trip to Argentina. It was a long-dreamed destination, which climaxed when I eventually saw the glaciers: the majestic Perito Moreno (definitely a must-see) and the lesser-known Upsala glacier, which can be reached only by boat.It was my first encounter with a glacier from...
Looking back at 2015, I realize it's been a different year in terms of travel. I visited fewer countries, but spent a lot of time in a few, exploring the immediate surroundings. A sort of slow-travel-in-search-of-the-best-places-in-the-backyard. I focused on two of my favorite countries - Italy and Switzerland - fulfilled a dream - visiting Patagonia, and...
Would you take a random train in Japan? I did, and it was one of the most interesting experiences I had in this intriguing country.Why a random train journey, you might ask? And why in Japan? It's part of who I am. A sign of how for me the meaning of "travel" evolved over the...

Lots of people dream of a winter vacation in a warm place - usually a tropical beach - and I traveled a couple of times in the southern hemisphere when I visited South Africa and New Zealand.It sure is nice to wear a t-shirt and be barefoot when family and friends are muffled in woolen scarves...
Unlike many cities and towns in Italy, Cervia, as we see it today, is a rather recent settlement, dating back to the late 17th Century. Well-known as a beach resort of the Emilia-Romagna region for Summer holidays, Cervia actually has a lot of charm apart from its wide beaches.Cervia, the town of salt. Originally the city...
We are living in troubled times and acts of terrorism across the world sadly make the news more and more frequently. Every new attack increases people’s fear, perhaps also because for most of us born in first world countries after 1945, war is part of our past and somehow abstract. Sure, since the end of World...
I started being more seriously interested into street art a few years ago, after a trip to Brighton where for the first time I saw some seriously beautiful and creative murals.It might sound strange to many, but in Italy, we’re often plagued with senseless graffiti which are nothing more than vandalism and little quality street...
There's no greater pleasure for an autumn hike than the colours. Year after year, as yellow, orange, red explode and the landscape shines with bright and warm tints, I can't help thinking at the wisdom of nature, offering a colourful treat before winter, when the mountains are white and cities too often are grey.I captured this photo last year...
