Water In Venice Canals Goes Crystal Clear After Coronavirus Lockdown (5 photo)

Where pessimists see a half-empty glass, optimists come along to show that it’s actually half-full. Same goes for the ongoing chaos of the coronavirus—while some are hoarding away toilet paper like there’s no tomorrow, there are people who see positive outcomes even in a situation as dire as this. One of these positive outcomes is that pollution has dropped down dramatically following the lockdown of Italy.

Beautiful Photos of Sophia Loren at Her Grand Roman Villa in 1964 (31 photo)

In the summer of 1964, Alfred Eisenstaedt paid a visit to Sophia Loren at her grand villa in Rome that she shared with her life-long husband, producer Carlo Ponti. This could be seen as the fulfilment of the promise that Ponti made to Loren when they got married in 1957, that he would give her “the most beautiful house in the world.” And indeed it was.

I Ventured Into The Italian Countryside And Found An Abandoned Monastery (23 photo)

Sacred, it is this place at the end of a path which not long ago I have walked: forested, the road rises from the foot of a small Italian city and ends at the top of a hill, where you will find an imposing monastery rich in art and history, engulfed by an oak forest, a place hard to find for vandals. Perhaps that’s why the interior of the church has been preserved so well.

This Is How These 11 Famous Ancient Roman Structures Looked In The Past Vs. Now (11 photo)

Regarded by the world as one of the greatest empires to ever exist, the Roman Empire had many accomplishments. And Roman architecture is definitely one of them.

Sheep In Tuscan Fields In Italy (11 photo)

This set is about sheep from Tuscan fields. These several pictures was taken during few trips to Italy, mainly on spring and summer. Herds of sheep are very popular in this area so I decided to make some pictures in good locations with them. It was quite hard sometimes because they moved not where I wanted and it’s not a good idea to come closer to negotiate with them. All of them are guarded by Tuscan dogs that are not always friendly with photographers :)
