  • Field of Miracles Lawns

    PRATI DI PIAZZA DEI MIRACOLI

    The vast, emerald green lawns surrounding the white marble monuments provide the ultimate, iconic photographic backdrop. This is the prime location to capture the classic, optical illusion shot of holding up the tilting bell tower. The stark contrast between the bright green grass, the gleaming white architecture, and the deep blue sky is visually sensational.

  • Sunset at the Middle Bridge

    TRAMONTO AL PONTE DI MEZZO

    Standing on this central bridge as the sun dips low offers the most sweeping and romantic shot of the city. The curving river acts as a mirror, perfectly reflecting the pastel coloured, elegant palazzos lining the banks. The golden hour lighting here is incredibly soft, casting a warm, historic glow over the entire urban landscape.

  • Church of the Thorn Exterior

    ESTERNO DI SANTA MARIA DELLA SPINA

    This miniature, highly ornate Gothic chapel sits right on the edge of the stone riverbank, making it an incredibly striking subject. The sheer density of the spires and statues against the plain backdrop of the river creates a brilliant visual contrast. Capturing it from slightly down the road allows you to frame it perfectly against the flowing water.

  • Tuttomondo Mural Wall

    IL MURALE TUTTOMONDO

    This massive, incredibly vibrant piece of modern street art covers the entire side of a historic building, demanding to be photographed. The dynamic, interlocking cartoon figures pop brilliantly against the old urban fabric. Using a wide angle lens here is highly recommended to capture the immense scale and energy of the entire composition.

  • Marina Pebble Beaches

    SPIAGGE DI GHIAIA

    Located just outside the city, these unique coastal stretches are composed entirely of smooth, brilliantly white marble pebbles. The brilliant white stones contrasting sharply with the deep blue Mediterranean water creates a highly unusual and deeply photogenic beach scene. It is particularly stunning during the late afternoon when the shadows lengthen across the textured stones.
