Rain changes Venice in a way nothing else does. The light softens, the colors deepen, and the whole place seems to ease back a notch. The melancholy that settles in isn’t sadness so much as a kind of tenderness — a reminder that beauty doesn’t always need sunlight to make itself known.

A shaft of late afternoon light grazes Cortona’s clock tower. It’s not terribly dramatic, but it’s the kind of moment that reminds me why I keep bringing photographers here; not for the landmarks, but for these small, passing bits of time that change the way you see. That’s the real workshop moment.

Water has this way of changing everything it touches. Sometimes it reveals details I’d otherwise miss; sometimes it hides them just enough to make the familiar feel a little mysterious.

Italian Yellows — Some colors seem to hold time itself. These ochres and golds soak in the day, releasing warmth long after the light has moved on.Color becomes a form of memory, a way of remembering the sun.

Sicily Blues
There’s the blue of the sea, and then there are the blues that become part of a place. Some days, everything seems to fall into rhythm — color, light, texture — and as I photograph, that harmony starts to hum a little louder.

An old edition of “Bacco in Toscana”(Bacchus in Tuscany) - a 17th-century poem by Francesco Redi, a dithyrambic poem in praise of Tuscan wines. The poem imagines the god Bacchus arriving in Tuscany and choosing it as his new home, attracted by its excellent wines.
