Berlin. 2025. History wherever you go. Like in many other major European cities you can't move a single cobblestone without revealing endless stories of the past. The future in such areas is always relative, it never exists without the things and stories that have existed before. Every decision come...

The summer of 2025 is almost over already but I still have some pictures to show you that hopefully bring back that summer vibe. Back in June I've been visiting the small Italian island of Elba for the very first time. Elba is best reached by car via a ferry boat from the mainland. The obvious route...

For now this will be my third and last slideshow video of my recent trips. Again the slideshow is almost an hour long and condenses a week of adventures into a continuous stream of images and short clips. So let's dive in.

This video is about my trip to Venice in late summer of 2024. My main focus...

In this ongoing series I'm trying to present you my most important images of 2024 in a new way. For each of my trips I have put together a slideshow that compresses roughly one week of images into a slideshow of roughly 1 hour, usually less. I know this still means quite a lot of commitment and also...

As I've already mentioned here before I've been putting a lot of effort into the creation of some yearly slideshows towards the end of the year. Usually these slideshows are meant to be watched by some friends and by the greater family. They've become part of our family Christmas tradition. And it's...

The history of northern Italy is complex. It's a constant back and forth between different political and religious forces, between different cultures and ideals, between different interests. Guelphs and Ghibellins are two factions that developed in the 11th and 12th century. Their names originated...

Thousand miles through northern Italy, a round trip from Brescia down to Rome and back up to Brescia again. Vintage cars, old towns and cities, curvy roads and a lot of history. That's Mille Miglia.

In a way I like cars. Cars are wonderful design objects telling a lot about the history and the p...

There's something eternal about all these Roman ruins, artifacts and buildings all over Europe. Still today it's hard to imagine how an empire could operate on such a huge territory and in such high precision. The Romans really have been planers, builders and organizers. I wonder how much of that le...

Recently I had the chance to visit Arles, the tiny city in the south of France, in the heart of the Provence region. Arles had a rather important place on any ancient map since Julius Caesar established a colony there back in 46BC. Its ideal location next to the Rhone made it a very important comm...

Have you ever been to Mallorca? No? You definitely should plan a visit there in the years to come. Recent political changes how to treat and possibly limit the enormous amount of visitors each year makes it an even more desirable place to visit. What an irony. Sure Mallorca is still famous for endle...
