I · Rome

The city does not separate past and present; it lets them overlap, quietly and without explanation.

Endless queues in front of its landmarks often turn the Eternal City into an exercise in waiting. For me, the more compelling moments were found elsewhere: in quieter streets, less visited squares, places where the city briefly exhales.

A cleaner in a white tunic mops the floor of a spiral ramp beside its ornate metal railing, under warm lamps.

A nun stands at a lit wooden confessional in a marble church aisle.

A dented grey car is parked on cobblestones beside a graffiti-covered green door in a pink facade.

A delivery truck with its rear open, filled with blue and green laundry cages, stands in a narrow street beside a hotel sign.

A man in a red cap and sunglasses leans against a sticker-covered wall at the start of a cobbled lane lined with plants and orange facades.

An older man holds a red heart balloon behind his back among people gathered at a lit market stall on a piazza at night.

Two people in work clothes clean marble statues beside a stepladder in a sunlit gallery, a person in a dark jacket standing among the sculptures.

A woman in a wide red hat and an older man in a patterned scarf, seen from behind, sit in a church pew facing the lit altar.

II · Catania

A city that doesn't pretend.

A man in a red padded jacket stands with his back to the camera, full plastic bags in both hands, facing a dark palace across a sunlit square.

A man in a flat cap and dark jacket on a sunlit square, his long shadow falling toward the camera, other people and a small white dog behind him.

A fishmonger in a black beanie and apron cuts fish on a wooden board beside an iron fence hung with plastic bags.

A man in a beanie sits with folded arms on a chair outside a souvenir shop, between boards of fridge magnets.

Men in a procession seen from behind, in gold, green and blue satin capes and black caps over long white robes.

A white-haired man with a walking stick walks along an empty sandy beach, small waves breaking on the turquoise sea behind him.

A green Fiat stands in a courtyard beyond a worn plastered archway, a barred window in the lava stone wall behind it.

III · Trieste, Verona, Venice

Two silhouettes on a stone pier against the low sun over the sea, one holding an arm up toward it.

A paved street half in shadow, one person crouching against a brick wall and another standing beside them looking at a phone, an orange house and a cypress at the far end.

An older woman pushes a wheeled walker across the polished patterned floor of a dark church, the lit apse and crucifix far behind her.

A dog lies in the sun on the paving beside a transparent public phone booth, a person standing at the far end of the narrow square.

Two people sit in the sun at the foot of a church wall, one bent forward with a shopping bag, the other on the steps beside a tote bag, long shadows across the square.

A woman in a mustard coat carrying two bags walks down a sunlit lane past a shop window, a shadow falling on the paving.

Two figures walk along a narrow lane between dark walls toward bright sun, a pigeon on the lit paving behind them.
