Tuscania - I
Believe it or not. I've been living thirty years not far from Tuscania but I first discovered it (or "her", as in Italy we're used to treat cities as the were persons) no more than a year ago, after watching a masterpiece of PierPaolo Pasolini's film directions: "Uccellacci e Uccellini". Upon digging around the 1966 film places and metaphors, I discovered that some of the scenes were shot in open fields just out of the tufa Etruscan walls of this small pre-roman town in the province of Viterbo, not far from the outer ring of today's Rome.
I soon got engaged and promised myself to make a tour on my first visit to my parents, in Tivoli. What I could not know on my arrival is that the emotions felt by standing in front of "her" archeological treasures could be much stronger than expected.
I hope this pictures spur a bit of desire in some of you to take a break and spend some time around this province.

En tour
It's stronger than my will. Even when I'm pushing hard on my mountain bike pedals and heavily breathing to recover after a steep slope, if what surrounds me has something worth to be noted down, I stretch my arm on my back, pull my mobile out of the pocket and, still pedaling, take some snapshots. Most of the times the result are strongly tilted, blown, light unbalaned and shaken pictures. In few other cases, as in those I'm going to post in the following days, the result is surprisingly good. It's worth being written that I'm not owning one of the latest fully equipped smart phones. These are still taken with my old Sony Ericsson. That's the funny thing.
It's snowing this evening. I won't probably have the chance to ride tomorrow. Good weather for reading and processing some of my latest shots.
