The Ionian Islands…
…where celebrities go when they want to be alone
Ithaca, Levkas, Cephalonia: it’s like sailing across the Ionian Sea in the wake of Ulysses and, as you reach your landfall, finding three islands where the stars go to relax. A secret heaven that has remained unspoilt by the modern world.

The Last Days of Pompeii ?
The repeated damage at one of the world’s most important archaeological sites is proving an embarrassment for Italy, and giving credence to accusations that the entire ancient city is in a state of decay. A few weeks ago,on novembre 6, Italy was embarrassed when a frescoed house, the Schola Armaturarum, where gladiators prepared for combat, was reduced to a pile of stones and dust in seconds. (Less than a year ago, another building, the House of the Chaste Lovers, collapsed in Pompeii) Three weeks later a stretch of garden wall ringing an ancient house in gave way after days of torrential rain. Two days after two ancient walls fell down , making four collapses in less than a month !
The collapses made world headlines and triggered criticism of sharp budget cuts and charges of neglect of Italy’s vast archaeological heritage.

Dharma Punks
They are young, tattooed, with piercings and shaved heads. These are punks who are tired of the consumerist trends of thinking and despise the examples their past cultural movement idols portray. In eastern spirituality and wisdom, whether Buddhism or Hinduism, these punks find the inspiration to change the world by beginning with a revolution within themselves.

The Pastoral odyssey…
» In an autobiographical and reflexive quest, I was moved to explore a task that was the once my father’s and my grandfather’s, but will never be mine. It is not a simple quest for roots but a semi-ethnographic exploration of the mentioned event vanishing little by little: the shepherd’s world. »
