Moving to...

1 min read
Hi all, I'm moving to flickr cause it offers different features, like geotagging and a batch uploader...
But I'll try to keep this profile updated ;)

C'ya!

HI All!

On August 12, 2009 I went to Val Senales on the Alps, close to Austria.
In this place 53 centuries ago lived Ötzi, the similaun man that was found 20 years ago; ice has mummified him, so scientists could study him. They discovered how he was when he was killed, causes of death and his equipment. This discovers help us to understand how ancient man lived in mountains, and how the survive in that critical condition.

The body was found by two German tourists on the high glaciers, in Italy, at about 3.5 walking hours from Val Senales.

That's an amazing place.
When I arrived there, in Senales (1630m above mean sea level), the temperature was about 18°C (64°F); in Maso Corto (2011m above mean sea level), where the chairlift base is, the temperature was 11° (52°F). On the high glacier (3212m above mean sea level), the temperature was 0°C (32°F).
In Milan, the mean temperature is over 28°C (82°F)... mountains are very cold!

I suggest to everybody to go there... the panoramas are amazing and full of green!

Monte Isola

1 min read
Hi All!
On 13 April 2009 I went to Monte Isola, an island in the Lake of Iseo, Brescia, Italy.
I took some pictures here, but the weather was not the best for all the time. So some pictures are foggy, in particular over long distances...

I selected the best picture to be published here, and I hope you appreciate it!

In this weekend I went to Piacenza (Italy) and I take some pictures in the little but so characteristic villages that sorround the city.

I posted here a small example of my photo and I hope you will like it!
