CASA DE CAPITANI D'ARZAGO

Another Milan Masnsion i love.It was built in 1924 by the architet Carlo Ottavio Marchetti di Montestrutto .The gates on the main entrance was taken by the church of San Protaso destroyed in the past.I love so much the very old wisterias,their colors contrasting with the white trim from inside.The location of this villa,located in the center of town,is very  peaceful and noiseless,very uncommon for a big urban town

FALL SKY

Typical white and grey sky on Palazzo Lombardia in Milan during this period since the next spring,soooo saaaaaddddd!!!!!

LIMO IN THE CITY

Is not a common thing seeing the Lincoln Limousine around the city,every time i see one catching my attention luckily this time i've my camera with me.When you see one you can clearly understand why one of the most powerful person in the world sometimes seat in this car (U.S. President)before choosing the Cadillac.This is not an understatement,not a vip cars or a simply north american car manufactures flag.It's a status symbol!!!

GREENHOUSE

Greenhouse or ivies invasion???i've never seen something like this in the city,is very impressive.

LIKE A PHANTOM

It's been a long time i want to post this night pic,this house catch my attention because is completely forget by a living city as Milan and by everybody.So i decide to back one late afternoon and press my shutter,it's an unreal atmosphere like the phantoms' house,simply unforgettable!!!
