Verona. Le scenografie dell'Aida davanti all'Arena romana.

Isola di Torcello, Venezia. I resti del Battistero della Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta

Venice, Fondamenta San Giobbe. Votive shrine.

Santa Maria di Leuca. A splendid cat, Bella, and a fountain. She, no doubt, is drinking. But she seems to be vainly gazing at her reflection in the water.

Otranto, the former bauxite quarry. Red rocks and an emerald-green lake.

Venice. From behind a mosquito net, three cats watch whoever passes by their ground-floor window.

Türkiye, Cappadocia. They call them "fairy chimneys," and indeed these ancient rock formations resemble chimneys and have something magical about them.

Venezia. Un vecchio mascherone accanto ad una moderna telecamera.

Venice, a stone's throw from the Sant'Alvise dock. A small orange house with a stuffed crocodile on the windowsill.

Venice, night on the foundations and rio di San Girolamo.

The old Forte San Marco, on the hills between the Adige River and Lake Garda.

Gagliano del Capo, Salento. On the ancient walls a devotional mosaic of painted tiles.

Türkiye, Hierapolis. The well-preserved ancient Roman Theater reminds us of a piece of ancient Turkish history.

Venice. Every spring, the blooming of the giant wisteria arrives punctually, climbing the walls of the historic palazzo in Rio Terà dei Biri or del Parsemolo. But every year, it's a pleasant and fragrant surprise.
