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...
Le Finestre d'Italia
June 2021 | Marcello Mellino
Italian windows are quite different from the ones we are used to in the U.S. They are actually open at all times, weather permitting, and they serve multiple purposes.

Un Bel Gelato
May 2021 | Marcello Mellino
I am not sure if this event (fig. 1) happens regularly in Italy, but it did a few years ago! Imagine a three-day extravaganza where any possible flavor of gelato can be tasted bringing total happiness to children and adults alike. A gathering of...
Al Mercato
April 2021 | Marcello Mellino
Shopping at a mercato all'aperto, open market, in Italy is an incredible experience well worth enjoying. They are typically found in most residential areas. The mercatino are set up early in the morning from well-equipped vans. While some return on...
A Viso Aperto
March 2021 | Marcello Mellino
It has become normal to look at a person today and wonder how does he/she really look behind that mask? People are by nature socially inclined, however we have come to accept as normal a life essentially devoid of spontaneous socialization. I...
Andiamo a cena
February 2021 | Marcello Mellino
I remember with some nostalgia the many opportunities enjoyed over the years to meet friends back in Italy for a cena. Someone would usually have a great trattoria in mind (fig. 1) to get together and talk about memories and old adventures. Of...
Buon Anno!
January 2021 | Marcello Mellino
How many times did we wish "Auguri e Buon Anno!" to our family and friends over the years? Well, as we get close to 2021, we really should mean these words, given all that we have had to endure throughout these last tragic 12 months. Everyone is...
