summer books

The unbearable and irritating heat is finally calmed down and allows me to breathe and look back to one of my summer readings. I did not knew much about WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) style except this vague idea I had related to cashmere and pearls. When I saw Susanna Salk book, Privileged life: celebrating [...]

15 of August

There are two ways of seeing this particular date. The first one corresponds to my grandparents point of view: starting with 15th of August summer ends. It always induced me a nostalgic feeling and I feared each time they say it. The second one express the idea of a new beginning. September with its wonderful [...]

summer days

These days the heat is hellish, my vacation far away and in addition, two of my close friends have moved: one to Milan and one to San Francisco. I’m not sure which of these three facts irritates me the most. I do not sell anything: I just thought to photograph the very little things that [...]

mes vieilles pompes

I’m not a nostalgic person. I love the feeling of lightness and I do not surround myself with useless objects. I love the freedom it provides. At first glance, this might appear easy.

personal path

A recurring thought is pursuing me for a long time: “Renounce to all material possessions to become richer”. I’ve read it when I was 12 years old in a book which title i can’t recall (belonged to one of my older sisters who become a nun) of the philosopher Edith Stein. I had been wondering [...]

the joy of black

I attended a store opening last Friday and I saw so many damned beautiful shoes in one place! My favourite, are black with bold lines, ironic and wearable. They are made in “the golden mine of shoes” which is Riviera del Brenta by marsèll (them again!). For me, this is the never-ending joy of black!

only italian shoes | part II

On the golden age of plastic, I remember I had a pair of sandals of an indefinable blue shade. They resembled more or less to the black ones here below and except from the insipid colour, all I can recall, is myself questioning about who invented this form which looked ridiculous to me at the [...]

let it be flat

The 1st of March, exactly three years ago I arrived in Italy wearing high heels convinced that flat shoes exist only for practice a sport. How wrong I was?! I feared the flat shoes and the leopard print shoes with the same intensity. I think it was because flat is not flattering and makes the [...]
