Carved from volcanic stones, the towns of Sorano and Pitigliano are ancient settlements in Maremma, the southern part of Tuscany. They are called “borghi del tufo”, since theu have been built from a volcanic stone called “tuff”. Pitigliano, in particular, is also called Little Jerusalem. With small houses made of tuff and narrow alleys, it got its name from the jewish community that lived peacefully here in the past centuries. The music is an homage to this Jewish heritage and it is “MIQEDEM – Psalm 23 (Live in Studio) תהילים כ״ג”, all rights to the rightful owners. The post Sorano and Pitigli ..read more

Lunigiana Castles – an hidden gem between Tuscany and Liguria

by Enrico Pescantini
8M ago
The Lunigiana or Lunesana is a historical territory of Italy, which today falls between Tuscany and Liguria. Its borders derive from the ancient Roman settlement, later the medieval diocese of Luni, which no longer exists. It takes its name from Luni, a Roman town, perhaps pre-dated by an Etruscan settlement, which became the principal urban center on the northern Tuscan coast. Some contend that the name Luni refers to the moon. Others maintain, though little or no evidence exists, that the region was populated by those who worshiped the moon. As if to unite history and myth, the symbol of con ..read more

Why Kyrgyzstan? Kyrgyzstan is a not-so-well-known country in Central Asia, in a group of countries born after the collapse of sovietic union at the beginning of the ’90s. Like most of the countries finishing with *stan (*stan means the country of the * population, so for example, the country of Kirghisi people), Kyrgyzstan has strong roots in the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, and an often violent history with the Soviet Communism Era.     So if you are interested in Communism, nomadic tribes and very open spaces, it might be an uncommon destination for your trip.   Bishkek ..read more

Aftermath of Volcano Eruption in La Palma The impressive eruption of volcano Cumbre Vieja hit the island of La Palma at the end of 2021. For 3 months the lava river destroyed over 3000 buildings, 90 kilometers of roads and endless hectares of banana plantations, leaving more than 2000 people homeless. The landscape changed completely by a 15-meters layer of lava rock, and by thousands of tons of volcanic ash, that covers the land with a grey blanket. The houses that survived are often cut off from the rest of the island, leaving them isolated in a black smoking desert.  A breathtaking and ..read more

Northern Lights are without doubt among the best shows that you can witness in our planet, and I have been very lucky to see them few times (in Tromso, in Svalbard and more recently in Manitoba Canada), and even more lucky to see them in such a strong display. I’ve thought that the timelapse of the Aurora Borealis that I shot in Tromso in 2018 would remain unchallenged, but my last weekend in Iceland blessed me with a powerful solar storm that literally lighted up the sky. After landing saturday late afternoon, we head straight to Fagradalsfjall volcano for an hike to the top: the goal was set ..read more
