Behind the Chianti Postcard

I remember when I was in Sydney, 

and everybody was asking me 

"are you really from Tuscany?" 

It was a funny question, 'cause I couldn't see "the postcard". 

After 2 years far away, I could see "the postcard", 

and now I've been taking Samuel Webster 

behind "the postcard" 

with the Bella Toscana project,

and yes, I'm really from Tuscany. 

Here are some photos of the Chianti area.

BELLA TOSCANA: Archivio Diaristico Nazionale Foundation

The Archivio Diaristico Nazionale Foundation was born in 1984 in Pieve Santo Stefano, 

a little village in Tuscany which was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War, from an idea by the writer and journalist Saverio Tutino. 

There are a total of 7000 documents including memoirs, diaries, letters and autobiographies. While travelling for Bella Toscana, we had the opportunity to spend time in the archive, finding our way through many interesting diaries. This video is our way to say thank you, and to show the archive to the rest of the world.

People and stories in Florence

We started Bella Toscana in Florence 

with the people 

and their stories. 

There is our favourite guy in the historical San Lorenzo food market.

then there is Luca, who gives new life to lost soul furniture in San Frediano 

Roberto, who offered us a coffee, a real one, while telling us the secrets of the market. 

I want to point out that not one of them had time to stop and pose, 

but they had no problem sharing their stories with us.

Do you want to spy Rome from the keyhole? #BellaToscana

Arrivati (once arrived) 

in Rome, 

what's the best B side option of the 

eternal 

most beautiful 

city in the world? 

To spy it from keyhole! 

"This famous view of Rome is seen through the keyhole at the end of Piazza dei Caveliere di Malta, Aventino."

To describe the strong feeling of people 

for this city, 

I want to use this caption, 'cause it says 

in Roman slang 

"Rome, you'll be eternal inside me"

Venice for Bella Toscana project

It was pretty hard to find the  

B side of Venice 

on a busy Sunday but... 

we made it, as we had a good pizza in the 

"not too touristy" 

AI BARI trattoria, 

and we found another side of the city, 

just off the Rialto-S.Marco paths.
