Sometimes the grief is too immense to be confined in our mortal nature and faith is the only way to the peace of our soul.

Laghetto di Monte Rosso, for few moments it was my private natural infinite pool :)

I've taken this photo the last time I came back home.
Due to the many tourists in the city, the best time to take pictures is at night, when you have also some time to prepare your tripod, equipment and stand in the middle of the street without being run over!
The is one of my favourite places. It is one of the seven hills in Rome, right in front of Circo Massimo. There you can still find some wonderful spots, with a quiet and charming atmosphere, exactly as you imagine it should be. Being a little higher than the city and right above the river Tevere, there you can also enjoy a pleasant fresh wind called "ponentino", appreciated by the Romans especially during the summer.
This fountain is placed on the entrance wall of "Giardino degli aranci", a place you don't want to miss if you're visiting Rome, especially for its incredible panorama that I will post in another photo shortly.

I will never get bored to come back to this place.
It is also possible to climb right above the monastery; it might be a good excuse to come back one more time! ;)

My dear friends,

A BIG “Thank you” for all the birthday wishes. You made my day!

Yesterday I had a very special private party with an old friend of mine. I told Santa that you were good people and how kind you have been to me! So get ready, you should get a nice present for Christmas!! ;)
He wasn’t in great shape when I left though, so don’t get anxious if he’ll be late…..

My friend Santa completely drunk after a party we had last night.
