wishing our starlit man @willsergeant.com a very belated happy birthday!
it’s 6am now. just finished off this piece for the occasion.
enough words have been said; none can express how enchanting, meaningful, lifesaving his work is to me and many. this is my own way of thanking him for all. ta! 🕯️
evening! 🕯
have you ever heard of frutiger aero? the mid-late 2000s utopian aesthetic based on organic shapes and environmental cleanliness?
well today the sky was in a very frutigery 'future we were promised' type of mood - totally refreshing after these days' cloudy all-white.

evening!🕯
on my latest trip to the big town, the sky called.
it had painted wonderful things in the last hours of daylight, it wanted me to see.
i kept me awake, so that i could try to loosen all tension in me, and feel the days grow longer - each day a second more.

evening!🕯
just a small outing in the fields after the daily errands. after the last days' heavy rains, the clouds are beginning to clear up here, but the winds are still pushing themselves ice-cold on the skin - as if the ground was covered in 2 feet of snow. sigh !

evening🕯
stop a sec to dive back in time with me at this beautiful little chinese restaurant in downtown bari - probably the last one surviving in town. it gave us a terribly nauseous night but i'm anxious to try again - possibly sitting there encircled by all the neon.

evening 🕯
tonight i walked with glee under these bright sodium lights with the most splendid news in my heart: i am finally getting a real appt to get the written document that will give me permission to start the t !!
a door opens, this is the beautiful light behind it.

evening!🕯
watch the world in motion with me, on the way home from the golden city of lecce.
these long shots were taken around taranto - on a road traced by the stars, perfumed of gleeful salty memories retrieved from a sunday by the sea.

evening !🕯
it snowed tonight! it was the first snow in two years and didn't last one morning.
please enjoy yourself these very ugly drowsy pics i took of it on all the neighbouring roofs like icing, and excuse the long hiatus - we're always dining so late these days.

evening!🕯
i rose from the usual 1st-of-the-year emotional mire with my dear friend, & the night we spent together at her place - away from all unfathomable negativity + self-policing.
this was the skies out her house, wiped off in minutes by an unusually kind breeze.

wishing you beautiful people a wonderful 2026, with hope it's going to be full of everything you're hoping for, + all of that starlike beauty that comes unexpected!
here's the last skies of 2025, on a hasty lone walk - end of year tradition of yours truly's.

evening!🕯
a few pictures on the walk and bus ride to get to a very special somewhere - a home, to shelter me after i missed the last ride home, to keep me warm & fed while my soul returns to live under true sunshine. the sun burned the clouds yellow-gold, precious. real.

hope everyone spent a lovely juicy fat crimbo wherever you are!
watching my best wishes fly by to you in this mist that makes all light glow w/ a dewy (sopping wet actually) mystical aura - a late evening constant companion.
pictures from my last lone walk.

happy holidays to my sweetest, most dearest extended family here under the blue skies!
here's what "town ii" looks like under the glowy glaze of the festive season - reminds me, for everything i lost that cries at me, my friends' laughter returns me it all intact.

the watchful calm inside the montagnola. i captured all from various angles as i walked on precious tracks scattered by autumn's fallen soldiers - the yellowing leaves.
the park overlooks the grand stations, business shielded from view by a big white roof.

evening!🕯
the beauty of piazza 8 agosto, captured in the evening with a sky so still the chemtrails stayed in line for longer than supposed.

reprising the memory journey of bologna while thinking of happiest times here in the present - only thing, they make me be late and miss you!

evening!🕯
today i've something different with me - a reflection on a myth & my reality, a longing for freedom.
a wish i did not depend from an entity who taught me I don't deserve kindness whatsoever, and that i knew how to give myself the love i lack.

evening!🕯
something happened in the astral planes above me and beauty came to me like the cold rains, under these sodium lights. it's caused me to go super tired everyday, but my soul looks back to december last year, when i was in tears everyday, and the xmas lights smile back again.

bari, italy.

i like the feeling of parco della montagnola, and the fact it's so close to the grand station you get there in no time at all. this is the view from the side of the station: a monumental stairway overlooking, embracing roman ruins like lovers aeternal would.

evening🕯
four shots around the quadrilatero with different shades of the same lighting/weather, post-noon overcast - almost my favourite in winter, and the best for me to have while sightseeing. i can't recognise the places as most of the time i had no idea where i was.

a few seconds looking below
how long did you spend
in doubt
a few voices calling behind
how fast did it change
the weather
a hard thought you can't shake
a soft fear gripping within
a loud noise
a silent house
are you running
i wasn't running,
anywhere, no.

bologna station vs thoughts of today.🕯

evening ! 🕯
looked at the traces of their sentiments the streets artists of/in bologna left on the walls the walls, selected a few, and remembered the grand ignition they flamed up in me. one day im going to be on those walls too. happy defacing!🕯

evening🕯
enter the morning light, easy on the cream coloured arcades and veiled padan skies, guiding the people of bologna as they rush to their daily business.
it was concert day, it was super late and i was out hunting for some food to stash away until the night.

some more from that evening.
this is porta saragozza, one of the monumental ways into the older part of the city centre. in the other two are the golden lights that bathed the portici near where my comfy little stay was.

evening!🕯
slick silence on the way to and from the nettuno.
i wandered around happy and fascinated, almost in a glistening daze like betty from mulholland drive - taken aback by the historical signs, the immense architectures towering, and every single shop window in sight.

bologna, italy, 6/11.

evening🕯
a few people-less moments in piazza nettuno. as if happened, i landed home so late everything was closing, so i took time to unwind and then visit the city to run my gaze across archways and along battlements without anyone around. thursday night bliss.

bologna in the night as she welcomes me into her arms by the station. i was a bit cold to her, so didn't honour her with many pictures - mainly bc i was pissed it was late. we'd wasted 1hr into traffic, so my afternoon there ended up being...you'll see, you'll see.
