Italian Beauties
April 2022 | Marcello Mellino
I always enjoy looking at unique architecture. Italian cities and small towns are a great source of photographic inspiration!
This month I chose to share with you a series of images, some of which might be familiar already, hoping to nurture your...
Il Carnevale
March 2022 | Marcello Mellino
Il Carnevale is a serious time for Italians, as both children and their parents (figs. 1-3) get involved in this fun season. There are plenty of opportunities to show off masks and costumes on the street. The Italian lifestyle is much more...
Spoleto
February 2022 | Marcello Mellino
As I looked at past images of Italy, I was captivated by the beauty of Spoleto (fig. 1) and its surrounding countryside. These images brought back memories of the friendly people I had met during that visit and, of course, the town (fig. 2), its...
Photo Exhibit: Piccoli Piaceri

La Piazza
October 2021 | Marcello Mellino
La piazza (the square) has been the center of town since the Romans and the Greeks before them. The ancient Italian villages were built traditionally around a main square where most activities took place such as the daily market, most political...
Colori della notte
September 2021 | Marcello Mellino
Photographing the night can be difficult, however the results bring out a different atmosphere and often a very romantic, soothing mood. I personally love visiting small, mostly unknown villages (figs. 1,2) and borghi away from the big cities where...
