Carousel in Florence
Painted horses circle, while history plays its tune.
Did you know that carousel in Italian is giostra? Pronounced gee-oh-stra.
A Rain Kissed Bloom
Morning after the rain—an orange bloom at a monastery in Naples, still jeweled with raindrops, carrying the quiet promise of a new Neapolitan day.
My Favorite Spot on the Planet
If I could be anywhere in the world in an instant, it would be here - on the Ponte Amerigo Vespucci (Amerigo Vespucci Bridge). A corner of the world, with a sweeping view of the Arno River, and a waterfall that whispers to me. It’s where my soul feels most at home.
Firenze … Florence
Signora with Red Flowers
Sculpture of a woman (signora) gazing at the vibrant red flowers as if they hold her secrets.
Steps Towards the Sky
Red ladder, Arno light, vino in hand, raising a glass to La Dolce Vita — Salute!
Firenze … Florence
Cascading Wisteria
A garden I thought I knew revealed its secret: wisteria in full cascade. I’d dreamed of seeing it this way, hoping to fall under its violet spell, and when I finally did, it was nothing short of soul-stirring.
Wisteria … Glycine in Italian (pronounced Gleechineh)
Peonies of Tuscany
In the rolling hills of Tuscany, beauty blooms quietly. These peonies, tended with love by a woman who grows them simply for the joy of it, hold the kind of grace Tuscany is known for — stunning, fleeting, unforgettable.
Marble Guardian
From behind Neptune stands guard, watching over Florence in silence — marble muscle, ancient myth, and the whisper of Renaissance grandeur.
Piazza della Signoria
Twilight at Santa Croce
Santa Croce Basilica draped in twilight blues — Florence holding its breath between day and night.
Florence Duomo at Dusk
The Duomo’s Glow. Evening begins to fall and Florence whispers magic.
When the Rain Gave Way
The rain had lingered all day in San Frediano, soft and persistent. I settled at my dining room table with a glass of wine, letting the quiet hours drift into writing. Then, almost by chance, I lifted my eyes from the page and out the window…
Firenze … Florence
Golden Bridge, Blue Horizon
The blues of Firenze (Florence) never fail to enchant — sky, water, stone all converging in timeless harmony. A glimpse of the Ponte Vecchio, forever golden against it all.
Ponte Vecchio … Old Bridge
Bay of Naples in Divine Light
The clouds opened, and for a moment it felt as if angels were singing. White rays streamed through the shifting blue and grey, cascading down toward the Bay of Naples.
Heart of Quartieri Spagnoli, Naples
My visit to the Quartieri Spagnoli (Spanish Quarter) in Naples was unforgettable. Life here overflows with raw emotion — sometimes tender, sometimes fierce, always deeply human. In the quiet of night, with buildings pressed close in shades of purple and blue, I felt that pulse and tried to capture just a fragment of its spirit.
Piano of Dreams
When the Renaissance meets a piano and a little magic in the Oltrarno (other side of the Arno in Florence). Waiting for the opera to begin.
Chiesa Santa Monica
Whispers in Stone
This arch holds more than beauty — it carries a story, one I’ll save for another day. But buy me a glass of Prosecco and I just might spill.
Santa Maria Novella, Florence
Where the Cobblestones Lead
Florence has a way of leading you exactly where you need to be. A left here, a right there… the cobblestones always know the way. I love getting lost on these winding roads.
Marble Horses, Neptune Fountain
Florence’s Neptune fountain, where sea gods and marble steeds rise from the depths in timeless elegance.
David's Shadow Play
Oh David, you flirt!
In Piazza della Signoria, Michelangelo’s David still commands the stage—even in shadow. As the afternoon sun shifted across Florence, I caught this fleeting silhouette dancing against the walls of Palazzo Vecchio. A moment of art playing with light, centuries later.
Firenze … Florence
The Joy of Getting Lost
I love wandering the streets of Florence, where every turn feels like a secret unfolding. Around each corner, beauty waits, ready to steal your breath and stir your soul.
The Blessed Mother of Santa Croce
For decades, I’ve come to this quiet corner of Santa Croce. In moments of uncertainty, I light a candle, lay down my confusion, and open myself to Mother Mary’s gentle guidance.
Firenze … Florence
Bernini Fountain of the Four Rivers, Rome
Stone giants, flowing water, and the hum of Piazza Navona — time itself seems to ripple here.
Bernini Fountain in Rome.
Rear View of A Masterpiece
Michelangelo gave us a masterpiece. This view of David proves there’s no such thing as a bad angle. Grazie Michelangelo!
Accademia Gallery, Florence
David in Black & White
Michelangelo’s David in timeless black and white—because a true masterpiece shines in every shade.

Funky Thrift Store, Vintage Florence
Captured in Florence in the 1990s, this black-and-white scene is a snapshot of a vanished thrift store—complete with mannequin, bicycle, and an American flag waving abroad. Though the shop is gone, the photograph endures, a timeless window into curiosity and style. Framed on my New York wall, it still whispers the same question: what’s just beyond that bici?
The Street Below
Looking down from my apartment on Via San Niccolò, I loved watching the quiet street come alive—one passerby at a time.
Firenze … Florence
Where River Meets Sky
A perfect meeting of river and sky, with Florence’s Ponte Vecchio gracing the horizon.
Arno River
Guardian of the Piazza
Florence’s Neptune Fountain — majestic in marble white—shines against a backdrop of statues glowing in blue. A striking view from the Piazza della Signoria, the city’s open-air museum.
Bathed in Light
A prism of light from the stained-glass windows of Santa Maria Novella danced across the ancient columns —and then it found me, bathing me in its glow. A fleeting moment of color, grace and awe, now preserved in this photograph.
Firenze … Florence
A Table in Tuscany
A candlelit table adorned with roses in my Florence apartment, with a window view of the palazzo across the street. A simple yet timeless glimpse of everyday romance in the city of art and love.
Glide Through Venice
Gliding beneath stone arches, the boat drifts into Venice’s eternal embrace — where every bridge tells a story.
