Nonostante sia li, a poche ore di macchina, in Slovenia ci siamo sempre passati ma mai fermati. Questa volta abbiamo deciso di dedicare un viaggio e un documentario a questo paese, nostro vicino. La Slovenia non ha grandi monumenti o attrazioni di fama mondiale, ma un sacco di piccole gemme, piccole e perfette, non ancora toccate dal turismo di massa Questo paese ha saputo sintetizzare e prendere il meglio dei suoi vicini più famosi. A Pirano, sembra di stare in un quartiere

This time we are in Iceland, for a short adventure in the far North. A land of volcanos, waterfalls and glaciers. We have only 4 days and adverse weather conditions with unstoppable rain and cold temperatures. We start the first day exploring the Golden Circle, the easy itinerary a few hours from Reykjavik. This comprises the rift valley of Thingvellir, the famous geysers and the majestic waterfall of Gulfoss. In Thingvellir Engel has to dive into the cold water to rescue his

Craig and I went through some of the past videos I made and he gave me few tips on editing, cutting and story telling. Here my 5 top learnings that I have tried to use for the video “Norway Husky Safari”. English version 1. Focus more on the characters’ emotions, less on the landscapes Our previous videos were very

Here we go, it is one of the most ancient cities in Europe with over 3,000 years of history. It passed ages of extreme grandeur and other of profound decline. It's Naples. We start from the historical centre. A grid of streets where you can find every possible architectural style: Greek buildings, Roman theatres, Gothic churches, Medieval walls, renaissance "palazzo" and so on. Well, the center is beautiful but also quite run-down. Garbage and graffiti are everywhere and clum

Da un paio d’anni io e Milan pianificavamo un’escursione sulle Dolomiti sulle tracce delle trincee della Grande Guerra. Finalmente quest’estate riusciamo ad organizzarci. Verso luglio contatto un amico di famiglia di lunga data, Andrea, che so essere diventato un appassionato alpinista (CAI di Oderzo) che si offre di entusiasticamente di accompagnare noi due principianti.
