Just as one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, the same is true for a monument’s exterior. Take the case of the Tempio Civico dell’Incoronata in Lodi, located along a narrow street leading from Piazza Vittoria, a few steps from the Romanesque cathedral. Access to the Tempio Civico—the people of Lodi don’t call it… Read More PLACES / A MASTERPIECE OF ITALIAN RENAISSANCE: THE “TEMPIO CIVICO” IN LODI (LOMBARDY)

SOMEONE IS WATCHING US FROM THE WALLS / PHOTOS OF EYES IN TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS (#6)

© Roberto Alborghetti There are eyes that always “look” at us. They are those of the faces on the advertising posters on the walls or on the billboards, along the streets of our cities. The torn paper of the advertisements, consumed by time and bad weather, can reveal interesting glimpses and elements, such as those… Read More SOMEONE IS WATCHING US FROM THE WALLS / PHOTOS OF EYES IN TORN AND DECOMPOSED PUBLICITY POSTERS (#6)

It is a simple photographic image.… Read More CELEBRATING THE “MOON DAY 2025” WITH A PHOTO OF TORN PUBLICITY POSTER
