Here you have some shots.   Last 20th June Angelo Branduardi performed the Infinatamente Piccolo and some of his "classics" in Padua, in the square in front of the Basilica of Saint Anthony. The best place to hear such marvellous music.   The London to Brighton Car Run, held each November starts from Regent Street with a extraordinary show of historical cars.

Postmans Park - Tombstone general view
Postmans Park
At the footh of the Rialto Bridge in Venice a sumptuous fish market takes place daily. The fishmongers are famous for the variety of fishes and sea-animals they sell and for their artisitc and technical skills in preparing and displaying their goods.   In Venice most of the houses have no garden or terrace where to hang out washing, so you can see all the wet wardrobe on ropes out of the windows and between one palace and the other, crossing calli and rii.   In a hidden corner of the big London there is a little magic park. The Postman Park reminds of all the everyday hero who died while saving someone from sure death. Take a minute to reflect upon these stories...

One of the best known symbols of Venice, gondolas have many aspects and particulars which not always are easy to see.

In this spring gallery its best flowers bloomed in April 2008.   On the second Sunday after Easter in the town of Fermignano (Marche, Italy) you can assist to the Palio of the Frog. Here some relevant shots of the event.

The City of Steel and Glass
Artichokes are strange vegetables, looking like strange flowers. In Padua, Veneto, Italy, there is a market where they are prepared for cooking in a special way that make them look like a little artwork.   In Brittany, France, there is a very uncommon kind of sculpture pieces: Calvaries. There are composed of just a cross or can have dozens of characters telling the hystory of Christ from the Annunciation until the Resurrection.   There is not only the Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament in London. The London Tower stand in a panorama full of bright new buildings all in glass, steel and concrete. Discover them!
