Ordinary Days (May on Metabox)
Di quanti palloncini abbiamo gioito da piccoli?
Non riesco a ricordare la delusione di quelli che persi nel cielo.
Solo la curiosità di sapere dove sarebbero finiti e se sarebbero scoppiati solitari nel blu, chissà dove, chissà quando.
Featured!
A Polaroid shot I took some time ago of artist Chiara Bettazzi while painting one of her Art pieces has been selected and featured in an Adobe Creative Class video.
Watch the full inspirational video on YouTube - my photo appears at 1:18.
If you are curious and want to see the photo in better detail, head over to its Flickr page; taken on Polaroid Silky 669 film.

Have a Polaroid year
I have just received news about the Poladarium 2014 calendar; 2 Polaroids of mine will be featured on January the 27th and July 6th.
I won’t spoil the surprise of seeing the photos until the calendar becomes available for purchasing, and this is it.
La Scuola di guerra aerea
I have to thank my friend & colleague Marco Salmoiraghi who found some shots I did in a rather rarely-accessible place in Firenze that I meant to edit and post somewhere but haven’t yet gotten round to.
He asked me to let him post the unedited (except for one) photos on his own blog - and you should go visit him since what he puts up there is all about beautiful sights of Firenze and environs.
Two words about these photos then:
the Scuola di guerra aerea (sorry, the linked Wiki is in Italian only!) is a rather fascinating and magnificent military school of air war situated inside the Cascine Park of Florence, built in perfect, astounding, gorgeous rationalist style between 1937 and 1938 by the architect Raffaello Fagnoni.
I was able to visit this military school thanks to a special opening day on a Sunday morning a while ago; the photos I have taken during this lucky occasion are of the most casual type - I was too overwhelmed by marveling at the sight of everything there to be able and coordinate my mind to take any proper photo, but you can admire a few details of both insides and outsides.
Thanks Marco!

Ho chiuso le finestre
tra poco torna il sole
e forse è meglio uscire.

Ordinary Days (March on Metabox)
Nel cielo a volte mi ci perdo proprio / Sometimes I just can get lost in the sky
Se solo mi distraggo abbastanza, se lascio la mente immergersi oltre il cosciente, riesco a perdere la prospettiva e l’ordine del mondo e delle cose.
Mi basta poco, un rettangolo con dettagli di nessun interesse, mi ci perdo ugualmente.
Focus Not on Hmans, my début EP finally out!
This EP of field recordings is now available exclusively on Bandcamp for 2,50 € and marks my return to “sound” since 12 years ago my indie band Mirabilia (see a very partial discography list) finished producing records.
More EPs are on their way and I have setup a page here, too.

“Piovono Polaroid” exhibition
A new Polaroid exhibition will be taking place in Firenze (Italy) in March; I still have very incomplete details, but opening will be March 16th in Via del Leone 2 (see map).
I will update this post with more details as soon as I get more.
Each of the 20 involved Italian artists will contribute with 2 to 5 photographs; I will contribute 5 never-before-exhibited shots.

Quello che porti con te / What you carry with you
La nostra vita e quello che siamo sono un bagaglio che cresce, si forma e ci segue per tutta la sua durata. A ognuno il suo, si dice.
Allora, dimmi: quanto è grande il bagaglio che ti porti appresso, che aspetto ha, riesci a trascinarlo agilmente?
