Photo Exhibit
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
January 2024 | Marcello Mellino
Life is made of a long sequence of moments, many of which might not be worth remembering. However, hopefully there are plenty more well worth reliving!
I wish I could soon find myself walking along a country trail (fig. 1) on a sunny afternoon,...

La Passione dei Fiori
December 2021 | Marcello Mellino

La Piazza
October 2021 | Marcello Mellino

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...
Pizza Day!
August 2021 | Marcello Mellino
Ask any child in Italy what they would like for lunch. Not surprisingly, the answer will usually be pizza or pasta! Interestingly enough, we probably would get the same answer from most American children these days. Italian food has conquered the...
Sapore di Sale
July 2021 | Marcello Mellino
"Sapore di sale, sapore di mare..." (figs. 1,2) was a popular summer tune. I remember it well as I spent many of my teenage years in the south of Italy, luckily always near the sea. The song talked about happy summer days by the beach (fig. 3) in...
