We were a group of four friends, and we decided to spend our weekend in the island. It’s known because it’s very nice, a jewel in the Tirreno sea, very popular for the tourists trips and very expensive too.
But we found this cheap 3 stars hotel and we made it: we left from Beverello port and those are The first pictures:
It’s unbelievable, walking by the usual streets and discover that so many shops has opened in less than 2 days!
I’m guessing when did they work to have a complete brand new store ready for this day..
Anyway this is Pitti power.
Have a look to those pictures which show both the sides of Pitti power:
Here you are some of the top Shop Windows of the city:
And also some esclusive parties with special guests (The famous ones and the ones who think to be famous!):
And then the best one, what do you think you can find in the streets the day after the first night of Pitti parties?!
SHOES! 
And weird people, for sure:
So weird, just back for a wend in Turin, to discover this city I’ve never been before.
Heard people saying ‘there’s the new opening, Museo Egizio, we need to book tickets!’
That’s why I decided to go straightly there, with no tickets. Just have a try.
That’s why after 5 minutes I had to change my plan and go visiting another top piace of the city: Mole Antonelliana, but I’ll write a dedicated post to it. It’s worth enough!
Be back on Egyptian focus and have a look at how contemporary they are:
weird tutele for this post, I know… But it’s exatcly what I thought when I look at some mountains while I was on the way back to Florence, after spending a wonderful Sunday on Cala Violino beach. Look at those photos, they show Alpi Apuane with a weird fog and sense of Mystics 
Don’t they remind you about those static Japanese paintings? Ukyio-e art? See for example this one 
Maybe it’s not about the landscape… It’s about the different levels they show: they seem to be painted by following several horizontal lines That’s why I thought to create a frame like this one 🙂 
really love it! Remember, If you want to see this mystic panorama, go visit Alpi Apuane, the unique Alps that are part of Appennini!
the popular Ponte Vecchio – Yes, it’s not the actual one, but a sculpture of it hanging on one of the Ponte Vecchio jewelry:
Circolo dei Canottieri – just next to Corridoio vasariano
View from Ponte Vecchio: over there, there is is Ponte alle Grazie (going towards Santa Croce):
here we are in Lungarno, between Ponte Carraia and Ponte Vespucci; we are exatcly at Pescaia Santa Rosa:
And this is Ponte Santa Trinita, that you can reach by simply going over Via de Tornabuoni:
Finally, let’s cheers to Florence views…
Here we are, just discovering that it’s the only day in the year that gives you the chance to visit some of the top private gardens in the city. And also something else…
Hence, If you want to discover these little inner spaces – maybe not so little 🙂 – have a look here…
Antinori garden

Antinori Palace and garden… And shop: Aqua Flor, the top shop of the city If you want to enjoy and be perfumed with natural flavors
Next photos in the next article…
Discovering some other spaces of the city dedicated to arts and history, both modern and ancient (mostly modern)
🙂
I built my story,
now check it and understand if it does make sense to you…or maybe not?!
Anyway, you can also build your own story 🙂
Here we are,
Imola Round ended with a wonderful experience for both Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team (the new Ducati official team of the year) and people and fan going up and down the Dekra Tower of the circuit and all around the hospitality..a triumph of shots and flashes and pictures and families,
everybody together for the same reasons, no violence, no bad scenes and sketches, nobody arguing,
but just a sane passion for motors and sports and Superbike.
Enjoy my reportage with exclusive photos taken from the top of the tower, in the Ducati hospitality, paddock and all around 🙂
Today was the perfect day to spend time in one of the most secretly popular place of music here in Florence: Mastelloni. Secretly popular, yes, because here in Florence things work differently.
A lot of things happen, music events, fashion events, readings, but no one knows. Hence, this place was the first and the only florentine place where to go and discover some good music, thanks to Mr Mastelloni, this man who was maybe the first dj of Florence in ’68th and now still is the boss.
So, if you’re lucky enough you can talk with him about any little part of his life, how he decided to start his business, how much he’s passionate about music..and here you are some pictures to discover the location.
and here the opposite edge of Florence, a new place with an exclusive location just in front of the Baptistery. It’s like a sort of Hard Rock Cafe in a stylish version and its named Move On:
Hope you enjoyed it!
It was a sunny afternoon when a friend of mine just asked me to go outside and try to visit the very exclusive gardens of Four Seasons Hotel, in Florence. Why not?
We could have a walk in the garden and then enjoy a fruit juice there (considering that it’s Sunday, and it’s the day after Saturday, the end of the weekend, it’s better not to drink again and be ready for Monday)..
So.. we were saying fruit juice, or detox cocktail, isn’t it?
Anyway, we just went around and suddenly we noticed different white sculptures in those gardens..I couldn’t ever imagine there could be so modern sculptures in that location! I felt as being in the Sculpture gardens of Washington DC! Those are the gardens and their wonderful tress and flowers:
Apparently, all the sculptures represented a sort of contrast between the traditional, romantic and ancient age on one hand and the modern, mixed and distorted reality on the other hand, look at those pictures:
And here you are some details: see the stuff sticking the masks! They are cartoons statues, pieces of glasses, mobile phones, Micky Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and all those characters that are part of the youngest life:
If you’re interested in discovering more about Ugo RIva (as me), here you can find some more info about his life and works of art.
