ITALY

I have spent a few days in Italy, amazed by its beauty and by how mild and pleasant can the November weather be.

A few years ago I have written (and started to work on) a project about Leonardo da Vinci that takes place in Florence, but the truth is that I had never been there before.

So I got a train ticket and headed to Florence. I wandered aimlessly around its narrow streets and along the Arno River, taking pictures to use as graphic references, visiting some buildings I had described in my story and admiring the beauty of Tuscany´s autumn.

The landscape was as beautiful as I had imagined it. It was great to walk along the streets and parks I had written about, imagining the characters of my story coming to life in that scenario.

Being there made those characters become real, and I had the feeling of being in places where the situations that I made up had actually taken place.

These kind of feelings are the ones that push me to discover new places and write new stories. For me, traveling is a huge source of inspiration.
