February 25, 2018 – A long walk on the streets of Rome A long walk on the streets of Rome Taking advantage of the relatively good weather, I decided to wake up very early and walk on the streets of Rome. I wanted to photograph some landmarks that I did not have in my portfolio. That’s either because of the poor weather or because the places were crowded with tourists when I took the pictures. On my fifth day the plan was […]
February 24, 2018, Colosseum and Ponte Sant’Angelo Colosseum and Ponte Sant’Angelo Today it rained all day. At one point, I thought it was not worth getting out of the bed. But something told me that it would be a big mistake to stay in the hotel room. So here I am 6 AM near the Colosseum. There was no one around, so I made my composition and I was waiting for miracle to happen – the rain to stop and […]
February 23, 2018, Ponte Sant’Angelo and Vatican Ponte Sant’Angelo and Vatican My greatest joy in the morning was when I find out was no longer raining.

There was plenty of time so I decided to take a stroll along Castel Sant’Angelo to see what I can […]
February 22, 2018, Galleria Borghese Galleria Borghese and Rainy day For today I booked a ticket to visit the Borghese Galleries where some of Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s works are.

If you are a lover of art and you like Bernini, then Galleria Borghese, “is a must”. I’ll let the photographs talk […]
21st February 2018 – Vatican from Ponte Umberto I First day Vatican from Ponte Umberto I I landed on Fiumicino Airport and I took the train to Rome. My hotel was located in Trastevere, very close to most of the places I wanted to visit and photograph. In that day, the weather was great for photography, I walked a lot, over 20km. I have decided to walk around to get familiarised with the city. First stop Colosseum, then Roman Forum, Piazza […]
