La vita è una fiamma che ci passiamo di mano in mano. Moisei monastery, Maramures, Romania. Celebrazione per la Vergine Maria. Agosto 2021

Annapurna sanctuary is an inhabited place. We are never alone here, also because of continuos rumble: avalanches and seracs that fall down from a living mountain. In the grass there are many small "men" made by stones, memories flowers and many other objects. We feel the breath of all dead people on mountains, here they are stikkalive, and they play to hide and chase themselves. Annapurna sanctuary is an open sky "church" where people celebrate diversity, mankind, the return…
In Romania l'8% circa della popolazione è comunemente definita 'Gipsy'. Ci sono intere città abitate da Gipsy, che vivono con le loro regole, con fattorie e case interamente gestite da loro. Tradizionalmente il gruppo Gipsy predominante si dedica a lavorare il metallo, altri sono allevatori di bestiame e/o contadini. Negli scatto abbiamo fatto visita ad un loro paese vicino a Brasov (Maramures), e due bambini ci hanno mostrato come addestrano le colombe. La loro non è certo…
Irlanda, estate 2012 Capita, se ci spogliamo della coperta opaca in cui avvolgiamo le nostre paure, che il mondo ci parli, e così è stato... Ricordi la messa nella stanza stipata dell'ostello di Doolin? Al di là della finestra umida di pioggia, al termine di una giornata di vento e vertigine, ecco vibrare improvvisa la calda luce di un sole brillante. Un'arancia matura in un cielo di asfalto sbiadito. Dalla parte opposta un cavallo ed un puledro prendono a scalpitare sul…
La nebbia cambia lo sfondo agli alberi, rapidi i tronchi si truccano di trasparenze. Nebbia chiara e incolore, sta a cavalcioni della cresta come il fumo di sigaretta che fuoriesce dalla bocca. Il cielo è arancione verso nord, blu e bianco verso il mare. Oltre la cresta si sfaldano budelli di fumo, si aprono bocche d'oro chiaro, varchi che mostrano il promontorio di Portofino: un'appendice inconsueta, un dito puntato verso il mare abbagliante. E' da qui che si sporgono…
The title of this pic is 'trapped heart'. I took it more than ten years ago. I noticed a spiderweb in a foggy and autumnal day, and I liked the idea this spiderweb could metaphorically trapped the chest of the women in the distance. I believe that it is important not what you see in an image, but what you don't see, a pic must evocate some hidden feeling inside us. Pic is analogic (black&white film Ilford hp5), with an old Nikon fe2 camera. #love #heart #blackandwhite #fog…
"Cosa c'è di più bello nella vita che essere seguiti, amati e compresi?" Questa frase è di Walter Bonatti, grandissimo alpinista ed esploratore, ma prima di tutto uomo. Non serve aver scalato tutte le vette della terra, ma aver sempre fatto nella nostra vita tutto quello che si è desiderato. ll motore di questo desiderio è la curiosità, il sogno. Mai smettere di sognare! "In life, best thing is to be followed, loved and understood". This words are by Walter Bonatti, the…
Maramures, Romania, agosto 2021. An old woman in front of her house. Here life is similar to our countryside a century ago. Farmers, wood crafts, breeders, and a lot of humanity and natural and healthy life style. Click to open full pic. #maramures #romania #blackandwhite #oldwoman #wood #woodenhouse
Maramures, Romania. August 2021. Old houses, some ones without electricity, but people had a strong faith and smile, love for God and life. One old woman has told us: if you wish something, ask to God, and God will give it to you. #marmures #romania #village #oldwoman #smile #god
Torino, underground, august 2021. A long exposure pic taken in Torino underground. It reminds to me the choices in life, as the movie 'sliding doors'. I like 'sliding paths' as title of my pic. What if I had chosen another way in my life? Or maybe it is like the quantistic state superimposition, when a particle can stay in two or more states in the same time, maybe also our soul could be a place where more than one choice had happen. Time doesn't exist inside us, and all our…
A pond at sunrise in the region where I live now, in autumn. Fog and sun created often a suggestive and magic atmosphere. #fog #sunrise #emiliaromagna #appennino #levizzano
Maybe my trip inside this fog could be more than an ancient love that overwhelms me and doesn't rest: always hoping to find elsewhere, in things he doesn't see, a sense that nobody can't see. E' passato il tempo che il vento ulula all'orizzonte teso da rapidi presagi. Qui, la nebbia il vuoto simula e noi uomini pariam randagi. La nebbia ha sembianze uterine, non sostanza ma immobile velo bianco, spazio senza fine, di luce che guida soltanto un filo. Solo un alone si annuncia…
Sale la nebbia sui prati bianchi Come un cipresso nei camposanti Un campanile che non sembra vero Segna il confine fra la terra e il cielo.

Good morning! Here a picture from Aiguille du Midi ridge (Mont Blanc, between Italy and France), a great granite ridge from Les Cosmiques refugee to the top of Aiguille du Midi, climbed to train to Mont Blanc summit ascent in august 2011. Aiguille du Midi is 3.842 meters high. The panorama is wonderful, ridge is often vertical, you stay into the clouds, and you can see some jackdaws as only sign of life. #montblanc #aiguilledumidi #climbing #mountain #rock #ridge
A travel in Hornstrandir, Iceland, august 2015. A very wild region on the nord-west of Iceland, six days of trekking with tents and food on shoulder. Some artic foxes live here. Mortality is very high, they are scared by rare people, they came close sometimes, but they don't want to be touched. Here you can feel the force of natural rules, and we are only guests. #iceland #fox #articfox #hornstrandir #trekking #islanda
During second lockdown in Italy, we had the opportunity to go on mountain, and this was the first trip after months. On the top on mountain, the sea seemed to have a golden surface. Monte Aiona, Liguria, january 2021 #ski #mountain #goldensea #sea #liguria #mediterraneansea #appennino #appenninoligure
I took this pic between Toscana and Emilia (Italy). It was night, and the moon illuminated some lenticular clouds, due to strong wind at high altitudine. The atmosphere was so irreal and magic. Pic is analogic black&white, hp5 film, Nikon fe2 camera, long exposure. #clouds #wind #night #blackandwhite #nature
During a ski mountaineering trip on mountain, we walked through fog, between clouds and sky. Sometimes, we saw the sun coming out, and it seemed like a small particle lost in the white. Austria 2004 #austria #sky #skimountaineering #fog #wood #mountain #trees #sun #blackandwhite
On the Ramaceto mount ridge, I saw the fog only on a side. This mountain is very special: the air from the left side is heavy of humidity from the nearby sea, and the right side as a continental clima, so there are often strange 'magic' effects.

In autumn and winter, I often go in a special place nearby home, to wait the sunset. It is a field with an old oak. In the picture these lenticular clouds were similar to a painting. #miceno #sunset #sky #wind #clouds #red #oak
I imagine the sea as an horizontal mountain, where you can find loneliness and spirituality like on higher mountains. This is a picture taken in Liguria, in my hometown, august 2016. I add this #watershot in #simpleshotchallenge by @ANGYDEVIL #originalphoto #sea #liguria #water #boat #loneliness
I like the effort of the skimountaineering, and I like the similarity between man and nature. Also the tree live in a continuous effort to win against gravity, but it has found a balance. We can't often win against troubles, we have only to find the right balance, and don't stop to walk. Ski mountaineer towards Aiguille D'Artanavaz, Aosta valley, Alps. March 2004.

Le tracce del passato non intralciano la nostra salita, indicano solo la direzione per inventare le tracce del domani. Past path doensn't hidden our ascent, they only indicate the direction to invent the path of tomorrow. Aiguille D'Artanavaz, Aosta valley, Alps, Switzerland. March 2004.
