Big city life Street Art project: This is my shortest trip ever: a hundred of meters from my home, here in Rome, a project called "Big city life Tor Marancia" has just been terminated.
18 writers from all over the world painted the facades of 18 buildings in my own neighborhood.
I had the honor and the pleasure to witness, day by day, this big ongoing event.
And eventually decided to do this "special" trip.

The Seven Wonders

After so much travelling, I ended up with a rating of all the wonders of the world. Starting from Rio - the last one collected - until the top of the list: the one magical place in the world...
#8 Christ Redemer, Rio
To be hones I did never understand why this huge statue was in the list of wonders. Compared to all other incredible sites this appeared to me just a big white piece of catholic sign. That's why it appears to be the last (first on countdown) on the list. When I eventually arrived in Rio, after seven months of Travelling around the world I kind of changed my mind. The Chris Redeemer is still not impressive. However, the city of Rio it is just breathtaking. Maybe that's the real meaning of this wonder: the landscape around it.
