Cinque Terre is an amazing hike through five incredible small towns on the rocky coast…

Really close to Pavia (where I’ve been living in my recent past) is located Certosa di Pavia. Thanks to Stella and Daniele for the company, the wine (that was gone much before going back to USA) and the good homemade focaccia!

Leaving Las Vegas… oops Boston.

October 26th, 2007

Here we go, going back to Europe once again. I left Boston with 26 degrees and I landed in Paris with 2 degrees Celsius. Luckily, in Milan it was a bit better 16. I left Boston in one of the best moments of the year… the Fall, with its beautiful colors.

Las Vegas [2]

October 19th, 2007

Another interesting Casino in Vegas is “The Venetian”. As you can imagine it has been inspired by Venice. I have been to the real Venice many times and a copy of it is just a bit weird at first. However I have to say that the atmosphere in this Casino is not bad at all. The ceiling (as you can see in the third pic) is kind of cool too. And think about it, the guys/girls driving the Gondolas are singing Italian song like “O sole mio”.

As I have been to the real Venice recently, I wanted to compare the “Palazzo Ducale” in Vegas with the one in Venice. Take a look of the following pictures. They did a great job.

Have a look of the “Rialto Bridge”… water makes a big difference in here…
