Narèt Landscape, Switzerland

This is the view from the top of Sambuco Valley, in Southern Switzerland, at 2301 meters (7578,74 feet) above the sea level. There is a small road ending here, and many paths and passes leading North to the Ticino Valley through the surrounding mountains. This area is very rich in artificial and natural alpine lakes, and the weather - despite small snow and ice leftover - was incredibly hot even for the summer season.

Goreme Landscape

I take this shoot near the Goreme Open Air Museum, in Cappadocia (Turkey) during a very cloudy day of January 2015. The magic and strange geological conformation (the so called Fairy Chimneys) of the landscape and the human intervention during the centuries make this panorama fascinating and creepy at the same time. Every time I look again at this photo it remember me of the magical land of Mordor in Tolkien's novels.

Meteora, Rousanou Monastery

This is one of the most incredible places I have ever visited. I was traveling from Milan to Athens with my motorbike, and I stopped in Kalambaka where the mighty rock pinnacles were clearly visible. Then I started exploring the site looking for the bast places for taking photos. This picture was take from the highest part of the Meteora Road, and frame the Rousanou Monastery with a giant rock column in the background. The view from this place is something very difficult to take with the camera, and the emotions was very strong. Unforgettable.

Pompeii Road

This is one of the main road to the ancient city of Pompeii near Naples, in Italy. The stones are very eroded due to the time and centuries of wagon's passages. It always a strange sensation walk on the same stones of the ancient Romans, 2000 years ago. Here the life has suddenly stopped when, in the year 79 AD the city was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Switzerland, Lago di Sassolo

I discovered the Valle Sambuco in July 2015. The weather in Italy was very hot, so I decided to spend some time in Switzerland Alps near Locarno. So I discovered the wonderful Valle Maggia, Val Lavizzara and Valle Sambuco, three valleys in Canton Ticino between Airolo and Locarno. The superior part of the valleys is full ok alpine lake, some more big (Lake Sambuco), some very little (as Lake Sassolo, Lago Superiore, Lago Scuro, and many others).
