Melting pots and mulled vine TV shows.

Overwhelming and underwhelming experiences. Decisions and promises.

On habits and changes. Absolutely not sponsored.

Pesky migraines, caviar, and photos.

The one where I started doing things that feel more habitual.

Ten years ago, I left Milan — where I lived for eight years — for London, UK. It’s been a week since I moved back.

In a bid to write more frequently, and to track events that might go overlooked, I’m starting to write weeknotes. I’m enjoining other people’s weekly reports because they feel personal. They could also be a good way to remind ourselves how many things we accomplish as opposed to what we perceive. Let’s start!

After almost two years, I’m back to Lake Maggiore, visiting my family.

Stepping into our new house for the summer, I wonder: how is it to live close to so much beauty? Art, architecture, poetry, food. This entrance is just the start.

Before the weather turned chilly again, we’ve enjoyed very mild temperatures. It’s easy to think the winter has gone, when the temperature is 22ºC and the flowers are blooming.

In a couple of days, the Emilia-Romagna region is going to see stricter Covid-19 restrictions. So I seized the moment and took a few pictures at the beach.

New journey and new blog for my husband and I to record thoughts, experiences and memories. After nine years, we’re going back to our home country, Italy, where we’ll stay until the pandemic is under control.

While I was focusing on things like the number of followers, engagement and reach, Instagram drained my creativity. Here’s how my love for photography helped.

It is with great excitement that I can say three of my pictures are part of the Because We Can! Exhibition by Shutter Hub, part of Festival Pil’Ours.

Starting 12 December 2016, until 22 January 2017, my photo, Boatspotting, is part of the Hot Numbers Open Exhibition in Cambridge.
