Grazie a tutti!

Time to say thanks! One week ago, I returned to Germany and the project in Siena is finished so far. (Not forever I’m sure) But I won’t miss to say thanks to all the people who had contributed to let it become a great experience for me!First of all, the two barista of the Café

Time for an „Aperitivo“

One famous thing in Italy is the so called „Aperitivo“, a drink you take usually between 5 and 9 o‘ clock p.m. before you go home to dinner. The bar „Il Battistero“ was closer than 50 meters to my appartement and so I quickly found the way. As I found out it is a very

Shooting with Leonardo

Like I wrote before, on one special evening I met Leonardo Breschi, a local musician. We played a few songs together and of course I invented him for the next day to make a picture of him as a gift. He came and we had much fun, also played „Knocking on heavens door“ together in
