Art part 1
This time I will start with a personal description, a subjective presentation of an event that has excited me more in visual and less in words; who pleased me, let's say, a lot from the visual point of view. Where art is involved, of course, there is also a man who...

Paperwork about... an Italian
For the Italian Literature course, I wrote the final paper, an essay about Giacomo Leopardi's work of art, art in words. My paperwork included as well a presentation, some images, and comments made by myself where I was trying to have a critical eye (more or less)....

Chess and puzzle along the sea
I did something interesting few months ago... I felt like a piece of wood moving fast, feeling alive, chasing the waves and staring at the warm colors of the sun. It happened to have a walk in Livorno, it happened to charge my soul with landscapes of calm nature, happy...

Where my heart is
I am comfortable with walking among Renaissance works, that's my heaven and I create my inner happiness feeding my eyes and mind with such works of art. Describing happiness in words is not that difficult, I believe the hardest thing is to calm down your heart when...

Evening in Pietrasanta
Having a plan is not suitable for me, having a trip works all the time but I cannot find the right hour, not today, not tomorrow, nor anytime! So I said to myself, let's go with the flow, even if I had a straight plan (again) in my mind - visiting the city during the...

Lucca through a map
Waking up with crazy ideas about tripping around, wandering and taking pictures of.. whatever my eyes like?! Indeed, meet me! I planned this one day trip few days before having it; I searched online for details of the targets I had in mind, I made a list of what it's...

Roma afternoon
Every student is excited about a field work or a one-day trip with its mates for one major and colorful reason – discovery. When I had to choose my courses, I chose the “Modern and Contemporary Art” one to fulfill my desire for art knowledge and learn by visual...

Sun and Sand
Let's try to imagine something... West side, sea, vacation and so much free time for exploring. Where to go? Well... a bit closer to your location because you're (again, me) kind of alone and it's not funny at all to go with new people that you don't have things in...

All green
Giardino Scotto For me is a place for relaxation, walking and taking pictures... if you're more creative, you can try something else, but it is too green to do many activities. I found this place in March, (that's why these are not so "summer photos" of it)...

National Museum of San Matteo
This is the Museum, you'll find it at Lungarno Mediceo if I remember correctly, but in any case, the fourth bus-stop along Lungarno. Well, once arrived there, you must know that you'll gonna spend about three hours or maybe more to see and read everything. And I...

Paint like Botticelli
My one-day adventure One-day adventure – because I was able to attend only one day of the four painting classes. No, it's not really like that... It all happened few days before an exam, I would say almost two weeks before my last exam (which I thought was the hardest...

Orto Botanico di Pisa
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more hopeful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul. As I said, I came with many many information and pictures to show you how amazing, colorful, fresh and green the botanical garden of Pisa is! Orto Botanico...

Why Pisa?
No, first… why Erasmus? – Well because it was a challenge for me during my first year at the University and I couldn’t imagine myself traveling for one major purpose of studying abroad. I must admit that I need one year to get used to the idea of doing something...

Churches and their beauty
My interest in churches architecture, style, and visual art was born a long time ago, while I was wandering around with my mother in some city, admiring the beauty of the buildings. Chiesa di Santa Cristina The Church of S. Cristina has stood where it is today, south...

Palazzo and so on
For those who like and appreciate architecture and all lines of that (respect!), I have some nice details I want to share with you about these impressive buildings that blow my mind. During the day, between two courses or when I was just wandering around, I found some...

Drawing Abroad
I was inspired by the bohemian atmosphere of Italy and the jolly nature its people. My feeling was a peculiar one, firstly being in a new picture that was completely unknown, there was the enthusiasm of finding a good place for drawing. I prepared my “drawing kit”...
