Stylists who wore these fantastic characters of the childhood were selectioned among several stars: from Versace to Fendi, Delpozo, Faith Connection, Arora, Cavalli…and obviously the LVR work of art!

Going to Ischia Island

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:

Florence restyling – Pitti power

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:

Find the Egypt in Italy

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:

Italian Landascapes that sometimes sound like Japanese paintings

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!

Florence chic bridges

 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
