period: december 2011Buon inizio 2012 a tutti! (questo è il primo post del nuovo anno :) )Ora che si è adeguatamente festeggiato l'ingresso del nuovo anno (e ci si è un po' ripresi), si ha le energie giuste per poter portare avanti i propri progetti (e iniziare una dieta disintossicante!).In bocca al lupo a tutti voi!Io continuo a viaggiare e in questi giorni sono stata nella bellissima Umbria a casa di Giacomo, il mio ragazzo (ieri ho attraversato l'Italia treno per arrivare in Val d'Aosta...!)(e non ce l'ho ancora fatta...) e data la vicinanza abbiamo deciso un giorno di passarlo nella città eterna: Roma.
Good start to 2012 to all! (that is the first of of the new year :) )
Now that you are properly celebrated the entry of the new year (and we have recovered some energy), it has the right forces to pursue their own projects(and start a detox diet!).
Good luck to you all!
I keep on traveling and these days I was in the beautiful Umbria at Giacomo's house, my boyfriend, (yesterday I crossed Italy by train to get to Val d'Aosta ...!)(and I'm not there yet...) And given the proximity to it, we decided to spend a day in the Eternal City: Rome.

I've been in Rome when I was about 12 years for 10 days and then just 2 days on a school trip. So I cannot say that I have lived the city or I really know it.picture from: wikipedia.it
So, during the last days of 2011, we have been in its most beautiful streets looking for the less trivial art that the city offers: the sensational Caravaggio's works that are in Santa Maria del Popolo and in San Luigi die Francesi. These works are wonderful, and just their vision is enough to justify the journey in the Urbe. A great emotion.
Then we walked around, beyond Via Nazionale, the ghetto, Campo dei Fiori, Piazza Navona (as always it was so lively and it let you breathe the Christmas atmosphere yet)(however I was deluded by christmas Santos), Quirinale ... etc. We just stopped for a cappuccino in the morning, a pie in the afternoon and then we give ourselves the pleasure of an ice cream by Giolitti in Via Uffici del Vicario, the legendary ice cream shop until 1900, with a unique style and an ice cream pales Grom (one of best Italian ice cream shop).
Le foto che ho fatto non mi fanno impazzire, ma d'altronde sto cercando di imparare ad usare il nuovo obiettivo Canon 50mm f 1.4 e non è così immediato. Bisogna lavorare molto di più con il diaframma e il focus manuale. Spero come sempre di ricevere i vostri consigli. Presto condividerò anche le foto che ho fatto ad un concerto e che mi hanno dato più soddisfazione.
The pictures that I took don't drive me crazy, but I'm trying to learn how to use the new Canon lens 50mm f 1.4 and is not so immediate. It needs that you work much more with the aperture and manual focus. As always I hope to receive your suggestions. Soon I will share the photos that I took at a concert and they gave me more satisfaction.

After the ice cream, the city has been illuminated. Some people told me that this year the Christmas lights are less than usual, but on the other hand we know that the Italian economy is not passing a good time, and I think it right that the government reduce the cost of Christmas lights. However those that were on were elegant and the city was still looking great. Even the long tricolor sash along Via del Corso to Piazza del Popolo had its gorgeous effect (and it gives an healthy patriotism in honor of 150 years of Italian unity).

Spero di tornare presto a Roma per approfondire :)Vi lascio alle vacanze (quelle che rimangono, per chi le ha :) ) e al resto del 2012!!A presto!I hope to be soon in Rome again to focus my knowledge about it!Have great holidays (those that remain, for those who have them :) ) and the rest of 2012!
See u!C.
