Hiking on Monte Vettore – Mental and Physical Health
A few years ago I had some health problems that limited my walking; I solved it after surgery and as a rehabilitation I started walking by taking small walks. I had never done that kind of training, but thanks to the company of my dog Max and together with a good friend, and thanks to the place where I live …walking, walking, walking, walking, walking, for more time, more distance … I became a real walker, quite trained. Walking has not only been good for my physical health but also for my mental health: this topic deserves a dedicated post. In 2020 I walked more than 1300 km: I never…

Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso
One of the most beautiful, or the best, balcony overlooking the Orta lake, is Madonna del Sasso Sanctuary. It was build on a rock spur about 600 meters height, on the west side of the lake, in front of Orta. This church was completed in 1748 as a substitute of an old chapel. Let me say that ‘Madonna del Sasso’ (‘Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rock’) is a common name when a church is build on a rock but I does not matter. I went to visit the church in June 2020 in a beautiful day; really I went to that place to take pictures and video with the…

Autumn Aerial Forest
Last fall I taken some pictures with my drone. These beautiful colors don’t last long; the chance to see them lasts only a few weeks and they don’t always have the same intensity. Obviously they depend on the climatic conditions.

My Trip to India – Part One
In the last ten years I traveled quite around the world, for my job and with my family. In this period of lockdown, business trips and holidays come to my mind; yes, I miss them ! One of the best trips I have done was in India, It was a business trip. While traveling by taxi from the Bangalore airport to the hotel I ran into one of the harsh realities of big cities in India: traffic jam. For several minutes we were stuck in traffic, without moving, everyone honked their horns. I thought the cause was the proximity of the airport, but in the following days I realized it…

The White Roe Deer
During my walks in the woods I often meet roe deer. However, seeing a white roe deer is not so common; I had seen one a few years ago. I met one early this morning, before dawn, not so far from me, quite big to impress me. It didn’t run away and kept looking at me to understand what I wanted to do: it shocked me ! Then It hid behind a tree, but kept staring at me. In the end other two brown roe deer arrived and fled into the woods. An amazing experience ! See also my Roe Deer project.

Foggy Forest
I love to flying; driving a drone is a virtual fly.Not far from my house, a small forest always to amaze me with its natural shows. Last year I saw the same show, but not as intense. It appears in autumn, when the ground is wet, with cold air and no wind. This fall I waited for the right conditions and I was able to take beautiful photos and videos. Here also a relaxing video.

The Malefic Stone
“Sass Malò” This is a big stone located in the wood of Gattico (Italy), It’s dimensions are about 8x4x3 meters. It seems like a trivial blog, which talks about a stone, but when you see that stone, it surprise you. All people who see it for the first time take a picture of it. The singularity of this stone is that it is the only one in the entire wood. A legend make it interesting. Legend has it that under the stone is a eat-children witch’s lair. “Sass Malò” means “Malefic stone” in local dialect.

Sancarlone
This is my first post !Some time ago I wanted take pictures and videos close to the statue: with my drone.Early morning (6:00 a.a.), post lockdown period (a strong desire to leave the house), a deserted place.The sunrise and the beautiful day helped me. The statue was erected between 1624 and 1698; It’s about 30 meters high.It was a source of inspiration for the construction of the Liberty Statue !
