Norcia: Determination After Damage
January 2020 | Marcello Mellino
Last fall, I visited Norcia (fig. 1), in the heart of the Umbria region, where so much damage had been caused by several earthquakes over the last few years. It was reassuring to see so much life and beauty throughout this millenary town, known as...
Paesi Preferiti di Italia
December 2019 | Marcello Mellino
If I could go back to Italy tomorrow, where would I go? This is such an impossible question to answer since there is so much beauty to see that a lifetime would probably not be enough! However, I think I would likely land in Venezia.

Buon Appetito!
November 2019 | Marcello Mellino

In Montagna
July 2019 | Marcello Mellino

Una gita a Tivoli
June 2019 | Marcello Mellino
Tivoli is a delightful, small town about one hour outside of Rome and definitely worth visiting. The town dates back to the Roman times, with many incredible archeological findings such as the Hadrian's Villa and the Temple of...
Vita di Paese - Dal mare
May 2019 | Marcello Mellino
As summer nears, nothing is better than a day spent by the sea (fig. 1). The sea gloriously surrounds Italy with an infinite coastline filled with small fishing villages and towns, routinely invaded by vacationing crowds during the peak months of...
