One of the sweetest moments of my life. This fair was amazing and the chocolates were incredibly tasteful.

Chocolate, winter, Italy. Enough said.

Here are a lot of textures from many Italian cities, all in high resolution. Enjoy.

This is Bella, the electric dog. She arrived a couple of days ago.

More photos here.

I took this picture at the Acquario di Genova a couple of months ago. A notebook with this image on the cover would be amazing.

I love these photos… Everytime I look at them I can almost feel the air of Firenze (Florence). My Flickr is getting more nostalgic this week.

Beautiful (and expensive) jewelry from stores over Ponte Vecchio, in Florence. They have everything there: rings, necklaces, watches, gemstones, earrings, charms and anything else you can put around you. I was surprised with the vast array of materials they use to create these jewels.

In January I visited this small shop in Firenze called Bartolucci, with hundreds of amazing wood products. ‘

I love how they handle every product (including the more “industrial” ones) with so much care. The colors, the finishing and the textures are really one of a kind.
