Bariloche, touching the blue

Arriving to Bariloche is a wonderful sweet surprise that enchants all your senses. The town lays quiet on the shores of a wonderful blue water lake, surrounded by high mountain ranges: it’s the Andes and this is the first time I see them.

Eternal Rome

GOING BACK TO ROME is like going back in time, my lifetime and history time. It’s a feeling that welcomes me since the moment I step off the plane every time, when the noisy sunny atmosphere immediately introduces me back to the Italian way.
