More of Italy!
March 26, 2012
[Currently listening to Damien Rice & Norah Jones]
I am back from New Orleans and I must say that I am…tired. I was suffering from the 5-6 hour difference from Italy and that jet lag is now accompanied by the hustle and bustle of this past weekend. Before I get to New Orleans though, I thought I would let you all see some more of my favorite pictures from Italy. It has been a week since my trip and I miss it more than anything; the smell of fresh pizza, the character of the people and most of all…frolicking around thousand year old ruins. I’ll go back one day! Enjoy.

Stunning collection of photos! . . . They make me want to go back to Italy!

Thank you, Michele!
Photos are awesome. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
The photos are awesome. Thank you for sharing
Wow, this is beautiful! It makes me miss Italy so much. It’s been far too long since I’ve gone!
I loved the lemon trees. Such a wonderful burst of colour!
Thank you!
I miss it so much and it has only been a week and a half. I encourage you to go again and visit the few lemon farms that exist on the Amalfi Coast; it’s such a shame people are abandoning them!
I hope to do a very extensive tour of Italy in the near future; I only got to see Umbria, Rome, and Florence with any depth. I’ll include the Amalfi Coast for certain!
These photos are beautiful and it looks like you are having a great time!
Thank you! I had the time of my life. Also, thanks for stopping by.
wow love your blog!! beautiful pictures and you are gorgeous as well!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your enjoying my small little blog.
Love this! Do you recommend the Almalfi Coast? Currently studying abroad in Spain and wanna try to get there
Thank you! I’m jealous that you are in Spain. I studied at the University of Salamanca for a summer and fell in love with the country. I definitely do recommend the Amalfi Coast. If you want to go somewhere where there isn’t a lot of tourists and a lot of culture, Salerno and the Amalfi Coast are great options. If you do decide to visit the coast, I encourage you to visit the local farms and enjoy some fresh produce because I know they are struggling tremendously.
Lovely photos. I’ve visited many of these same places. It’s great to “see” these places again here on your blog.
Thank you!
Gorgeous shots! Way to see the world, young lady!
Thank you very much! Although it can be difficult, I’m trying my hardest to travel as often as I can.
Italy has always been my favorite spot in the world. Your photos captured its essence quite beautifully. Brava!
Grazie, Emily! I was studying the culture of the Mediterranean and their diet, so I tried to capture as much culture in the photos as I could.
I’m so happy you enjoyed Italy!
I live near Salerno and I love Pompeii.
I hope you’ll visit my country again one day.
Congratulation, you’ re among freshly pressed blogs!!!!
xoxo
I am so jealous of you, Valentina. I stayed in Salerno for half of my trip in Italy. Your people are as beautiful as the country you all reside in! I will definitely try to revisit again one day. And thank you! It’s weird to be among the “freshly pressed” considering this blog is more like a scrapbook for me, my friends and family. Hope to hear from you again!
Thank you,
you’re making me blushing!!
If your blog has been featured, it’s because it deserves it.
I will follow you with pleasure!
After Pompeii did you visit other archaelogical sites?
Have a great day
xoxo
I enjoyed the hodgepodge of pics–you looked so peaceful sitting in the opening of the tree!
Thank you, Elaine.
God bless!
beautiful pics!
Great shots! My favorites are the staircase photo, the white/purple/yellow flowers and the building where the viewer is looking upward at the four pillars. Where was that building/pillar photo taken?
Thank you!
The photo with the four pillars is actually at the Vatican Museum, it’s the central balcony of St Peter’s Basilica where the Pope makes many appearances.
Italy would be so nice to visit. Loved the pics; thank you for posting.
Thank you!
Thank YOU for visiting my blog. God bless!
Lovely pictures! & totally makes me miss Europe!
xo Lisa
Thanks, girl!
Beautiful photos – thanks for sharing! Congrats on being FP!
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked them.
Italy is one of my favorite countries. Thanks for sharing your photos. Connie
http://7thandvine.wordpress.com/
You’re welcome, Connie.
I hope my photos brought back fond memories!
I am from thoses places. Wonderful photos, indeed!!!
That is awesome! I hope my pictures did your home justice.
More than justice… you caught the soul of those places…
These are stunning pictures, well done on being FP’ed! I’ve never been to Italy (or Europe, except for an 11-hour stopover in Heathrow), but I hope to go there someday.
Thanks, girl!
I’m glad you enjoyed my post.
I’m glad you’ve loved Italy! You should come, next time, also where i’m living…. in Sardinia!
Kisses
Ting
Oh my goodness! I would love to go to Sardinia. One day!
If you’ll come here let me know!!
Kisses
I will!!
Brilliant photos … great Job
Thanks
Beautiful photos and the fact that you were listening to Damien Rice just made me like you more.
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
haha, I am glad you approve of my music choices. Thank you for the comment!
Beautiful pic’s I wasn’t born in Italy but I know my grandma sure did : )
Thank you! I actually had a friend who went with me on this trip who wasn’t born in Italy, but her grandmother was. it was such a great experience for her to go back to her roots.
A great set of photos.
Aww you look like you’re having loads of fun. Totally jealous
Awesome photos!!
Thanks!
Great pictures! You have captured what I imagine is the essence of Italy. I would love to go there one day. It’s on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! That is such a great compliment. If you want to enough, you will!
And when you do let me know, so I can gawk at your Italy photos and be jealous of you. haha
It’s a deal!
Love it…oh, and I’m jealous :]
Thanks, Kari!
Hi Lisa! I love your blog- it is the cutest. Your photography is great! My blog is just starting up- have any suggestions of how I can get the most exposure as possible?
Thanks,
Sister Dearest (Emily)
Hi, Emily! I am so happy you like my blog and photography! And honestly, I have never really striven for exposure. I would just say to blog often, tag a lot and have fun. That is seriously all you can do…on top of sharing your blog on Facebook and other types of social media. Good luck, girl.
Ahh…lovely Italy and stunning photographs…PS: how come everyone is listening to Norah?
Me too as I traveled to Bergen…
Love.
Thank you!!
I have no clue! She is just perfect to listen to if you want to relax and take some time to yourself.
I really liked your pictures!!
I’m Italian, but I’m living in Uk at the moment…so I really like them!!
Greetings!
Laura
Thank you, Laura! I am so happy you like them.
I hope I did a good enough job at showing of your beautiful country!
You did a really really good job!!!
Thank you!!
nice combination of photos
Thank you!
I love italy so magical!!! Cant wait to go back
http://arhitekturaplus.wordpress.com/
I couldn’t agree more with both statements! One day!
huuuumt nice picture try look my foto on my site http://arsipmerahputih.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/taman-dayu/
Looks like Salerno, Italy!
Beautiful pictures by the way!
Thank You
I want these spaghettis!
Your pictures are beautiful. Thank you for posting.
Thank you! Your jewelry is magical by the way. So nice to see such great talent from my home state of Georgia.
I have fond memories of my trip to Italy! Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, Capri and Rome..! Outstanding!
We are truly lucky to have had the opportunity to travel to such as great place! Thanks for stopping by.
Awesome pictures, Lisa! Thanks for sharing. I am off to Italy..
Thank you!
I am so jealous of you. Eat a margarita pizza for me!
I went to Italy in the fall and LOVED it! Especially the Amalfi coast. I adored Pasitano. Seeing your pics makes me miss Italy so much!
The Amalfi coast was one of my favorite parts of my trip. It was a bitterly cold, but gorgeous nonetheless! And I am right there with you…I think Italy is calling our names, haha One day we’ll go back!
Love the pictures it shows a more personal Italia!
I really appreciate that compliment!
God bless!
Wow !! Italy looks beautiful in these pics and so do you
Best pick – The pose with the beautiful boots 
Cheers
Please spare some time to check out my latest post – http://raajclicks.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/capturing-the-text/
Thank you!! And brownie points for noticing my boots. haha Best wishes!
Beautiful photographs
very nice!
Thank you, Andy!
You’re welcome
It has been two weeks since I was in Rome.. really miss those espressos after a good meal. your photos really show the rich flavours of Italy. Nicely done~
I was only in Rome for about 4 days, but either way I enjoyed the city. I miss Italy as well; the states lack history compared to Italy. And thank you for your kinds words!
I truly appreciate it!
I was only in Rome for 4 days too, so I understand what you mean by ‘only’. The Vatican City by itself takes at least half a day (at the very least) to go through. Yes, I miss walking through the layers of history in Europe. I really want to go back. Presently I am trying to relive the Europe days by cooking ‘Italian’. Really need to get a cook book.
Keep posting! Your photos are lovely
Awesome!
LOVE your pictures from Italy. Amazing! Makes me want to go back RIGHT AWAY! Thank you for posting them. I really enjoyed it!
Aww, you are so welcome! We’ll all go back one day.
Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful pics! My husband and I went to Rome, Positano and Tuscany in 2003 and fell completely in love with Italy. We’d go back there in a hearbeat. Something that amazed me in Rome was seeing ancient columns laying on the ground beside busy streets, as if they were nothing special.
Grazie for your post!
Christine, you bring up such a great point about the ancient columns laying around the busy streets. My friends and I would sit and gawk and wonder, “Do the people who live here realize how lucky they are and if they ever get used to what they get to walk by every day?” It truly is amazing! I’m glad you enjoyed my post!
Beautiful photos… They truly capture the spirit of Italy!
Grazie!
I dream of going to Italy … your pictures captured the essence beautifully! Awesome!
You are so sweet! Thanks for the encouraging words. And the way I see it is if you can go to great places in your dreams, you can definitely make it happen in real life. haha Take care!
I definitely want to go, I hope it is sooner than later. My overall dream is to maybe even retire there. I love the pics of the city and it’s buildings. The one with the steps particular captures my attention. The one with you and your friends sitting around having a nice big family style dinner reminds of my cousin Bobbie’s wedding. My family went to the French side of the Pyrenees for that. A lot of old country traditions have been forgotten here. So it is nice to see those pics.
Your dreams are wonderful! Before I went on this trip me and my friends raved about Rome and the city and ironically our favorite part was going to the countryside in Cilento and cooking a Sunday brunch at a small B&B. By the end of the day we all felt like family. That to me is the essence of Italy’s culture; eating and enjoying our friends and family. I hope you do decide to retire there and if you do let me know how it goes because one day I too would love to relocate to Italy. Talk to you soon, my friend!
Beautiful pics of a wonderful area and the home of my heritage. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Thank YOU for stopping by.
Beautiful! I dream of Italy. Why did you go for? I’ll have to read back to find out. But, girl, how do you stay SO beautiful while traveling? I am hoping to travel in the future and as someone who struggles with her weight, I am scared of losing the control of not eating/working out as I want…and going soft.
You are too sweet! I went for school, I studied the culture and eating habits of the Mediterranean. Well if we’re speaking about clothing, I pack a lot of basics (Jeans, t’s) and add pops of color through jackets, scarves accessories etc, allowing me to make a lot of outfits. When talking about weight, I have maintained a pretty healthy diet of eating whatever I want, but making sure there are a lot of veggies, fruits, grains and hardly any red meat. This helps me maintain weight, but in all honesty I made a pact to eat whatever I wanted on this trip because I wanted to do as the Italians did, since I was only traveling for a week and a half. haha. If you have anymore questions though, email me at ordinarylisawordpress@gmail.com. Talk to you soon!
I will have to email you! I am so interested as to what you’re studying (program)…I want in on that!!
Hey Lisa, it looks like you guys were doing the macarena.
You are 100% correct! That day, we were all family. haha We also did some karaoke!
Fabulous photos of some of my favorite places.
Thank you, Sandra!
beautiful pictures!
Thank you, Sophya! I see you’re a graphic designer. I am jealous. I am a marketing major and would love to work in the creative aspect of marketing, so I am very much interested in graphic design. Feel free to email me at ordinarylisawordpress@gmail.com if I ever need some critiquing or you have some advice.
Loved your photographs! I was just there in June/July. Your photographs makes me want to go back!
Thank you, Marianna! Like I have told many of the folks who commented before you, one day we will all go back.
And if you do, I would love to see what you photograph. Best wishes!
Hi Lisa! I love your blog- it´s really woderfull, you have. Have a wonderful gift for you know convey your feelings and emotions to the fullest. I look forward to mine and you know that one day you take any of my courses on magnetism and health. Regards.
Thank you so much! I am so appreciative of your feedback. I think the reasons why I speak with such emotion and feeling is because this blog is something I enjoy updating and something that I have fun doing. I can’t wait to translate your work on your blog and relate to it, because I am very much interested on issues dealing with health. Best wishes, Lisa.
Why not add to the copious amount of posts and likes? You obviously have an amazing blog (I did notice you cropped me out of the first photo; however, I will not hold it against you since I made it into several others- it’s probably why you have so many likes! haha kididng. Or am I? Keep up the beautiful photos and descriptive journalism, can’t wait to see you Sunday and eat our ____ pasta. (fill in the blank). Ciao!
Lauren, I love you! You ARE the reason for all of the likes. Sunday will be like Donatella’s again except…not, haha I am already counting down the days. PS, Don’t forget the bread!
these photos are BEAUTIFUL! makes me even more eager to visit Italy and get in touch with my heritage. thanks so much for sharing
Thank you, Krissy! Please do make a trip out to Italy. But I will warn you, you may never want to come back!
man i hope that happens! i would LOVE to live in Italy for a time! but i would probably get homesick after awhile
Stunning pictures! Really inspiring! Congrats on being freshly pressed!
Thank you, Kelly! That means a lot to me. I see you are just starting out with blogging, have fun!
You shot a very nice photos..
Thank you, Dee!
I love your photos! So rich, so beautiful – you captured Italy! I lived there for a year, and loved every moment. For funny stories about that year, see 4initalia. Enjoy your memories – like you, I can’t wait to get back there.
Thank you so much! I tried really hard not to capture what I call “generic photos”. It was challenging, but meeting such great people made it easier. I can’t wait to see your adventures!
For me, it was all an adventure. Every time I left the apartment, something happened. We took a walk in the park, and got locked out of our 7th floor apartment, and had to be let in by firefighters – using their bucket truck. (“Rescue Me.”) The guy with the rooftop terrace was so gorgeous I almost fell off the roof (“Fabio On the Balcony.”) We went to Venice, and Paris, and Cinque Terre….sigh….Thanks for letting me go back through your photos!
Your style of photography is stunning. Perfect angles, and just great pics!
Thank you, Caroline! I truly am just an amateur, but I do appreciate your positive feed back.
My husband and I are traveling to Italy in one month! Your pictures are awesome and make me even more impatient to be there! Love you blog!
I am so excited for you!! You both will love it.
And thank you!!
You are absolutely gorgeous!! Having that said, your photographs are stunning ^^
Thank you, Peter! You are too sweet. I am glad you enjoyed my post!
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!! I’ve been to Italy a few times, and returning this May, but I still have not been to the Amalfi Coast (or Venice) and I am dying to get there!! Italy is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Thank you for sharing these photos.
Thanks, Nina! I am so jealous you have been able to travel often to Italy. Please, please visit the Amalfi Coast..it is gorgeous! And you are very welcome. Talk to you soon!
fantastic pics, looks like you had a blast! Great post
Thank you! It was the time of my life.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happiest place on earth!!!love love love italy and have lived there on and off for about 10 years. cant wait to go back. your photos remind me of the happiest moments of my life in italy. living, loving,eating , laughing . great photos, truly lovely!
I am so happy to hear that! You are so fortunate to have been able to indulge yourself in the Italian culture longer than the week and a half I was there. Thanks for stopping by!
i do feel privileged and blessed to have the experience but one thing i know for sure is, Italy will always be there, waiting for us to return! just loved your photos!!!
Pictures are quiet appealing. Italy is always on my list of “Must visit”, its natural beauty has always fueled my ardent wish to make it to this amazingly glorious landscape, added to it is its rich history and religious cultures dated way back…All the best with your photography and wish see if ordinary-lisa meta-morphs in to extraordinary-lisa.
Many thanks to you! You have no idea how much I can relate to your statement about Italy’s natural beauty and rich history. Thank you for your kind words! I too hope I can continue to grow as a photographer. Best wishes! Talk to you soon!
Thanks for the reply, the pleasure is all mine. I’ll be looking forward for your works.
Ah, this makes me want to go back! I hope you have un buono viaggo!
haha, I had a wonderful time! Nice Italian skills.
Thank you for sharing such inspirational photos of your visit to Italy. I hope to find time real soon to visit that wonderful country.
You are welcome! I am happy you took an interest to this post, it’s one of my favorites. I hope you find your way to Italy one day!
Great photos it seems you have a fun trip at Italy!!! cool!!
It was amazing! Thanks for stopping by!
Love your pics! We love all things italien! the food, the people, the culture, and every part of italy is so unique. We are heading to cinque terre in May, can’t wait!
Thank you! I am so excited for you. My friend visited Cinque Terre and said it was absolutely amazing. Take lots of pictures!
the 2 prettiest towns in Cinque Terre were quite destroyed by a freak thunderstorm last October and they are on a very slow road to recovery and rebuilding. Hopefully most restaurants and touristy places will be open by early May.
Hi! Nice posting. Anyway, r u indonesian?
Thank you! I am not. This is the first time I am asked if I am Indonesian, but I take it as a compliment.
You got me pumped for this sunday – leaving for ITALY
I like that the photos and inspiration of Italy was moving for you. Damien Rice + Norah = awesome.
Enjoyed this read. Congrats on Fresh Pressed.
Woot, woot! You are going to have so much fun! It was such a great time. And thank you!!
What beautiful pictures!!! I think i’ve fallen in love with the place. Visiting Italy is certainly on the top of my wish list now

Thank you, Andreas! You are too kind.
This is such an amazing post! I absolutely love the photographs!
Thank you so much! I am so happy you have enjoyed my little blog.
Great pics Lisa!!! In which region of Italy you’ve been?
Thank you! I traveled mostly in the Southern part of Italy…Salerno, Cilento, parts of the Amalfi Coast and then we headed to Rome. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a long stay to be able to travel to other places.
Wow! Amalfi Coast…is without doubt one piece of heaven. Have you been in Positano? Is on Amalfi Coast? Recently I’ve seen some pics from there which are magnificent. http://bit.ly/GZsf9C Have a nice evening!
Your pictures make me miss Italy so much!
I went back home (Sicily) August 2011 for 3 weeks and I never wanted to leave. Your pictures make me happy and sad all at the same time!
Mind if I share a few pictures of my trip with you?
http://iheartmakeupart.com/2011/09/15/my-vacation-in-sicily/
I know exactly how you feel! Lets go back!!
And thank you for sharing, I love seeing other peoples adventures as much as I like sharing mine with all of you.
I want to go to Italy. Great pictures.
If you want to bad enough, you will!
And thank you!

You are too kind!! Thank you!
I’m going to the Amalfi Coast in one month and cannot wait! Thank you for sharing such lovely photos! Would love any suggestions for day trips, as we have 1-2 days with no plans as of yet.
I am so happy for you! The Amalfi Coast is gorgeous. I know that the local farmers are having a hard time with their business during this tough economy, so I encourage you to check out the local lemon farms, go to a vineyard and definitely go to Tramonti- it’s a quaint little town. Let me know what you decide to do!
Reblogged this on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Italy is a magical place. I have family there and visit from time to time. Great photography.
I agree! And you are so lucky to have family there. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful pictures!
Thank you!
Your last post on your blog makes me want some yummy spaghetti.
Reblogged this on calmyourbeans.
Hey Lisa, many photos on this page perfectly capture the way I feel about bella Italia… just great!
Here’s one of my all time favourite Italian songs I wanna share with you:
ciao
I am so glad you feel that way! I tried to capture my favorite parts of Italy and those are it’s people and it’s culture. Thanks for the video!
beautiful scenery! what wonderful memories you’ve captured.
Thank you! Too bad I can’t jump into my photos as relive the experience, if only. haha
Gorgeous photos…a nice tapestry of colors and scenes that represent the country so very well. Looks like you had a wonderful time! I especially love the photo of the pansies with the mountains in the background.
Take care.
Thank you so much! The place where I shot that photo with the pansies was at the Ravello Gardens on the Amalfi coast, beautiful place for photography.
Beautiful photos! And beautiful faces! Thanks for sharing your experiences. And congratulations on being freshly pressed.
Thank you so much!
I am so happy so many of you have enjoyed this small blog.
Going in November. Now I’m stoked since I’ve seen your photos!!
Awesome! I am not only jealous of you, I am excited for you. Safe travels, my friend!
I really like your photo’s! They particularly caught my attention today because my husband and I are going through the visa process to move to Rome and came across a stumbling block this morning. These pictures reminded me of why we’re going through it all! Thanks! ~Tiff
Hey, Tiff! This opportunity for you is so wonderful. I can’t tell you how excited I am for you. Stay strong, it’ll all be worth it; I promise! Good luck and best wishes!
I absolutely LOVE the pictures! How many days were you there and what did you go for? Vacation? What type of a camera do you use? Your blog inspires me to travel more and take better jealous. MY Dream is to go to Italy someday! Thanks for sharing your memories!
Thank you! I was there for about a week and a half and I went with my university. I studied the culture and diet of the Mediterranean. I shoot with a Canon Rebel! Inspiring you is probably the greatest compliment I could possibly receive. I encourage you to live out your dreams. If you want it bad enough, you’ll do it! Don’t be a stranger! Talk to you soon.
So awesome!! I look forward to reading your future posts
Awesome photolog
May I know which place is it for the picture on the right (http://ordinarylisa.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/or4.jpg)? Would love to visit it one day! 
Thanks in advance!
Of course, sweetheart! That ceiling is in the Vatican museum in Rome. Thanks for stopping by!
Those are spectacular photographs and you’re a very beautiful person!
Thank you, Ryan! I am truly happy you enjoyed the photos.
UAU!
I love the photos- especially the food pics!
Thank you! I hope I didn’t make you too hungry. haha Take care!
lol, u 2!
Lovely photos!
Thank you, LilyKay!
I visited Italy 10 years ago and it’s never left me. Your pictures made me miss it all the more. I hope to one day go back. Thanks for the journey…
Thank you, Kat! I am so happy that I could remind you of this great country. We have been so fortunate to have experience the culture of Italy. Talk to you soon!
Bella! x
I wish to be here someday !!!
Beautiful photos! Really got to see Italy through your eyes. Thanks for sharing this!
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you so much for sharing this brings back so many perfect memories for me
Did you visit Ravello? Wine and Drugs was a highlight of the Amalfi part of our trip lol.
You are so welcome!
I did visit Ravello, I believe two of the pictures above were taken there. I drank the wine, but there were no drugs for me. haha Take care!
Let me rephrase that… LOL wine and drugs is a little store in Ravello. The owner is so interesting and we sat for over an hour sampling wine. haha
Beautiful! We are going to Italy in a couple months and these photos make me feel like it can’t come soon enough!
I am so happy for you! I felt the exact same way before the trip…now I wish it would have gone by a lot slower. haha Safe travels, my friend. Have fun!
great pics, I absolutely love Italy. the food, the cities, the weather…amazing!
Thank you! Italy really is one of my favorite places as well.
Thank you for wonderful glimpses of the land my Grandpop and Grandmom came from! Great pictures. It was nice to be here. You gave me my first view of a lemon tree.
You are SO welcome! You don’t know how happy it is to hear that about the view of a lemon tree. Many lemon farms are being abandoned for jobs in the city, so the ones left are near and dear to my heart! Thanks for stopping by, Maria.
heyy!! i’m kinda naive abt blogs but really liked ur clicks and all the write-up part!!
really impressed the way the have designed ur blog and pictures are simply awesome!!!!
hiii!!! i’m kinda naive abt bloggin stuff…. everything apart i really liked ur clicks and write-up part!! simply impressed with the design of ur blog and awesome pictures too
Thanks, sweetheart! I’m happy to hear you like my set up.
It’s a beautiful photo-blog. After this Italiano, I really want to taste it in the dinner tonight. Your pictures are also exquisite as this blog is.
Thank you!
I am not used to all of this feedback for my small blog, but I am truly happy that you have found an interest in my photos. And if you are hungry for some Italian food, I encourage you to make some. It’s a lot easier than you would think! Thanks again. Take care!
Well No wonder, If your blog comes at freshly pressed frequently, you would be used to it. And that’s a good thing that you are replying everybody’s comment. I am sure every new comment on your blog is filling you with the excitements.
Wow…how do you say I’m jealous in Italian!
Sono geloso! Thank goodness for Google Translate. haha Thanks for stopping by!
Fantastic pics! Looks like it was an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing with us. I look forward to poking around some more.
Thank you, Julie!
You are very welcome. Feel free to look around as much as you like and also to critique any of my posts as well. haha Take care!
wonderful shots! being from italy, it’s quite curious to see my country from the point of view of a tourist! please stop by to check some of my own shots from here: http://littlesquares.wordpress.com/
Thank you! It means a lot when a person enjoys my photos of their home country. It shows I’m doing something right. haha And I will definitely stop by, I am curious to see photos that you capture as a local and the things that draw your attention. Talk to you soon!
I love this blog! congrats, the pictures are amazing!
Thank you! I am so grateful to hear that.
Awesome pictures
! I hope one day I can go to Italy, such a beautiful place!. Once again, fab pictures!
I was in Rome on the third floor of a building when the earthquake struck. Very scary! But my trip to Italy was wonderful. I loved everything especially the food, the old ruins, the olive trees, just everything! As an artist the Sistene Chapel was glorious to me lying on the floor and looking up. Breath taking!. I would not trade my trip to this country for anything. Thanks for the wonderful pictures and memories!
Beautiful Photos, i just recently went to Italy and I loved it, it was purely amazing. It’s nice to see the adventures of others in a beautiful country(:
Wow! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed. I enjoyed your photos very much and look forward to more. My blog often focuses on Italy as that is my other life on the boot and bringing to the attention of the planet is a lovely goal.
Cheers to being abroad and for sharing!

Thanks, Michael! I am so happy to hear you like my photos. I read your about me and am jealous of your job and can really relate to the part that says this “This blog is for the rednecks that attempted to squelch my creativity and ultimately pushed me to escape their world of derision and short-sightedness.” I am from Georgia and have also felt overwhelmed by some folks who are a bit more close minded than me. But thanks for reading! Hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to getting lost in your blog. Best wishes!
You just made my evening Lisa. You are very likely far from ordinary and anyone with a passion for Italy will naturally be a friend of mine. I am so pleased you would take some time to dig into my work as it has been a lifetime in the making. I look forward to your future posts as well and cheers!
Michael
Italy is on my list of countries to see before the end of this year and seeing your photos just made me want to hop on a plane immediately! After all, it’s not every day that you get to run around in thousand year old ruins. Oh my goodness. I’ve read so much and even studied the culture and language. I’m officially going to buy pants one size too big just to accommodate all of the food I plan on eating. I’ll make sure to grab a camera because taking photographs – as you’ve beautifully exhibited – is one way to capture the memories and share them with others. Thanks for brightening up my day
Oh my goodness! Your comment made laugh out loud! I should have thought about packing a pair of pants a size too big. haha And you’re absolutely welcome, my pleasure. Let me know when you do decide to go to Italy!
Haha! I’m telling you — whenever you plan on some serious eating, especially in food countries, you can’t go anywhere without a size or two larger pants – they are life savers and who doesn’t love draping ? lol I definitely will! I can’t wait to read more of your stuff – keep it coming!
Your blog is great!!! I lived in Italy many years… now I’m in Los Angeles and I have a blog also, http://www.thegavlaks.com
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Not only are the pictures awesome, but they remind me of my amazing experiences in Sicily and Northern Italy (and Southern France as well)! The lighting along the Mediterranean is like no other. I took so many pictures while I was there… on a brand new Kodak Advantix! lol. The photos seemed so crisp and beautiful at the time, but that was 16 years ago-they don’t compare to what today’s technology can produce! Still, they hold many happy memories. Seeing your photos, I can almost taste the fresh seafood pasta and the brick oven margarita pizzas… I can smell the lemons on the trees in everyone’s yards, rosemary in everyone’s gardens, and the olive oils on everyone’s tables… I can hear the sound of the waves crashing on the stone beaches and the American pop music (back then it was a lot of Madonna and Michael Jackson) playing at every outdoor market… I can feel the clean air as I breathe and the crisp to the bread as I break it… I can see the ancient ruins of the amphitheaters of Syracusa and Taormina, the above-ground cemeteries where whole families were berried in the same marble ‘boxes’ (for lack of a better word), and the narrow cobblestone streets [Where stop signs are written in English, so the Sicilians just beeped and blew right through them! (that's the reason my Sicilian friends gave for running the stop signs. lol) There were 22 auto body shops in one really small town because of all the accidents that happen when someone attempts to drive down those narrow cobblestone streets that are lined with parked cars on both sides]. The memories are endless-and thanks to your pictures, still as vivid as they were 16 years ago! Thanks again for your post!
Fantastico!
Grazie!
Absolutely beautiful photos! I miss Italy so much!
Thank you! Same here.
Bellissima! Great photos Italy is the best!
Thank you, my friend! I agree, Italy is a wonderful place.
When I make it to Italy someday, I hope my trip is every bit as beautiful as yours! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Sister Muslimah!
Really beautiful photographs, I think that you captured the look and feel of Italy perfectly. I haven’t been in a decade, since I was in middle school, but I’m itching to go back really soon. Do you speak any Italian? Thanks for posting!
Thank you! Please go back and capture your view of Italy; you have great talent, my friend! Unfortunately, I do not speak Italian, but I am fluent in Spanish and that helped me very much on my travels to Italy. Take care!
This is really a good work. I appreciate your efforts behind that. Have a great day!
Thank you! I hope you have had a great day as well!
Great photos! I love Italian. Well, I’m an Italian who never lived in Italy, but go there often. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Cesar!
Wow, amazing photos. They really give an impression not just of Italy as a country, but of its people, its culture and its food. Awesome
Rob, that makes me so happy to hear. That was my goal! Best wishes!
thank you for sharing Italy through your photos.

You are welcome, Amira.

I am excited to look through your blog, because my cooking has gone dull!
These photos are excellent. I’m going to Italy in the summer, and now I can’t wait!
Have so much fun! I am jealous!
Now I want to go back to Italy! Visited Cefalù, Sicily last summer and it was by far the best vacation I’ve ever had! Loved everything! Especially the food!
http://bitterfia.wordpress.com
Oh my goodness, the food was my favorite part! I visited Salerno, the Amalfi Coast and Rome. I bet Sicily was beautiful!
It was! And I’ve heard so much good about the Amalfi coast as well. I think I have to go back there soon. Maybe try Amalfi this time.
Absolutely gorgeous photos. Makes me want to visit Italy even more. Looks like you had a good time as well.
Safe traveling~

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for stopping by! I’m glad you enjoyed them.
looking at your pictures you made me smile and you make me love my country even more! I hope you enjoyed there!
Aww I am glad you enjoyed them!
Although everyone has already said so (and you’re probably fed up with hearing so…!) but great photos, you’ve really captured the warmth and romance of the south and its people-thats what real tourism should be all about, and not just going somewhere to catch some rays! Thanks for sharing your photos, it seems like it was an amazing trip.
I completely agree with your statement on tourism! Well stated, my friend. And you are welcome! Thank YOU for the lovely comment!
Love to see your collection of pictures!I just grabbed one for my Pinterest..the beautiful flowers.
Thank you! I am glad you like my photos enough to share them.
Oooooh, THANK YOU for taking me back to me favourite place to holiday. Your pictures are beautiful….

I simply loved those buffaloes, the sea, the dance move in the pic, the food, the flowers, the mountain. But, i believe, it’s the way you put the beauty of Italy here that i’m loving the most.
Awesome pics! Gonna share with my buddies on Facebook!
