I was photographing this Genista flower in the sunset when luckily a hover fly alighted. Everything was ready to take a good macro: I didn’t waste my chance!

The whole Liguria was covered by a thick blanket of clouds. Climbing up the Ligurian Alps, towards Monesi di Triora, I finally emerged under blue sky, leaving the grey clouds below. I captured this scene upon come back, after a day snowshoeing to the summit of Monte Saccarello (m. 2200 circa), at the border between [...]

Another photo from the same clear-day session above Genoa. This time I zoomed-in on the spot where the sun disappeared. I enjoyed how these warm hues spread across the sky, like a colossal fire were buring behind the mountains.

Monte Fasce dominates eastern Genoa, Liguria, Italy. Its flanks descend steeply towards the Mediterranean. On a clear day, like this, one can see the peaks of the Maritime Alps, near the border with France. The setting sun painted the sky orange and I felt suspended above land and sea.

From the Monte Fasce, which dominates Genoa, it was possibile to distinguish the sharp peak of the Maritime Alps, the French coast and the island of Corse. As soon as the sun disappeared behind the distant mountains, the [...]

This photo is taken at sunset along the [...]

The long beach near Alghero, Sardinia, Italy. The summer at its best: strolling along the beach and taking a swim until the evening transforms into the night. Few scattered clouds diffracted the sun rays creating this amazing scene.

It felt like having thick opaque glasses. But on our way back, while crossing a sparse pine tree forest, the fog suddenly lowered and [...]

Autumn some years ago in the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi e Monte Falterona, along the border between Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The trees were all ablaze with the fall colours, but then the clouds were on fire too, lit by the setting sun.
