GT17-18: Certosa di Trisulti

On the same day we passed though Vico nel Lazio, we drove along the steep forestall road that leads to the Carthusian abbey in Trisulti.

GT17-18: Vico Nel Lazio

On the first day of the year, after I don't remember anymore how long since my last visit, I managed to make a quick stop, no more than twenty minutes, to the mountain village where I was practically born and spent so much time during my youth.

Grand Tour 2017-18

I'm ready to begin the new year with many pictures that I had the opportunity to take during the recent Christmas break. Together with friends from our former hometown, Saronno, we engaged on a Grand Tour around central Italy. A week-long trip where we had the chance to show our kids something different, beautiful, new and unexpected. Let me start from our last stop in Siena. We arrived in the old Tuscan town during a storm: the strong wind swept so much the hill that few people only dared to walk along its narrow streets. Surprisingly, the old medieval town, appeared to us as desert as one of the several villages in the nearby countryside. Now that I'm back in Austria, once again, my biggest regret is that I'm no longer equipped with the right gears. I continue to take bad pictures with my mobile or with a DSLR that's falling apart.

The shot below was not staged but ... stolen. There's no need to add more, I think.
