Creative Challenge - Waiting For

(The rain falls hard on a humdrum town)

[Photo taken on Jan 2014]

I'm walking through this piazza in the rain
With a low wind that blows on my umbrella
I'm patiently waiting for the night
With a warm white light around me

Creative Challenge - Imagine

(I just can't imagine where I'd be, can you?)

[Photo taken on Jan 2014] - part II

We have to come closer to
The Lovers
To look at their kiss and
To imagine the warm color
Of those dreams that are
Going through their bodies

Creative Challenge - Warmth

(Wish I knew the way to reach the one I love)

Driving southbound on early morning
He was wrapped up by the warmth
Of the shy sun of the dawn

Creative Challenge - Sinking

(Venice is not sinking)

[Photo taken on Oct 2013]

My babà was happily lying in his glass
Until he saw that a spoon was sinking inside him
Right after he understood that he was leading in my mouth.

Of casual letters
To sort a rare word
L O V E

Two steps
And I will enter
The gate

Creative Challenge - Neglected

(Back To The Old House)

[Photo taken on Aug 2013]

This is the house
Where my grandparents lived
I spent many summers
Of my childhood there

Memories: Time doesn't do its duty
And sometimes makes things worse

Creative Challenge - Summer

(Love Street)

[Photo taken on July 2013]

That night I touched the warm stones
Of the buildings along via dell'Amore
Still soaked by the hot sun of the day

Summer always gives new nuance of scents

Creative Challenge - Under The Roofs

(To be above to know what's under)

[Photo taken on Aug 2012]

I'm walking along crooked and narrow streets
And I feel the warmth of the sun above me
Everything is silent and quiet
I'm under the
ROOFS
of the city

Creative Challenge - In The Beginning

(Your stairway lies on the whispering wind)

  [Photo taken in Florence, Mar 2010]

In the beginning the light was dazzling and sharp
Little by little it became warm and silent
To soothe my soul

Creative Challenge - 9 May 2009

(Walking on the street that feeds your heart)

 

  [Photo taken in Rome, May 2009]

Along the Appia Antica road
Around the 4th mile
There is the grave of Hilarus Fuscus
It is 2,000 years old
An ancient monument to celebrate death
That witnessed the birth

Of a new Love

Creative Challenge - Pout

(What is this tingling sensation all over me?)

  [Photo taken on Aug 2012 in Budapest]

I pout because I cannot run
I pout because I cannot talk
I pout because I cannot kiss
You

Creative Challenge - The Color Of Highways

(Take Me Out Tonight)

  [Photo taken on Apr 2013 in Suisse]

...driving in my car...

I'm turning my head to the right
But she's not sitting beside me

I feel that the colors of the highways are fading away in the gallery

Creative Challenge - Have You Ever Notice

(Como Lake is a woman)

  [Photo taken on Feb 2013]

There is a clear path in front of us
Though our eyes can't see it
But our heart is going on 
Because love is blind

Have you ever
notice
?

Creative Challenge - Pause

(The Head with a History)

Yesterday I pushed the pause button
And for a while I switched my head
With a three thousands old one instead
To catch the dream I came from

I joked with my son taking this shot in the Museum of Stele Statues. The Stele Statues are enigmatic stone sculptures dated between 4 and 1 thousand BC and represent the most important collection of sculptures from prehistoric Europe. This small but impressive museum is hosted in the Pontremoli Castle (North Tuscany).

Creative Challenge - Attention To Detail

(Italy Love Tour)

[Photos and video made in 2010]

To visit the places
That your love touched
And to breathe the love scent
She left there

An attention to detail of beauty

Creative Challenge - Let's Take A Walk

(A morning walk)

This morning I wake up early

And I call you "Don't sleep too"

Let's have a walk hand in hand

Slowly along these narrow lanes
