Nightview of Como from Brunate

Como is a city 45 kilometers north of Milan. Its proximity to the Lake Como and to the Alps has made Como a popular tourist destination and the citycontains numerous works of art, churches, gardens, museums and palaces.


 


Brunate, town part of the province of Como, is famous for its landscapes: the whole Alps can be seen on very sunny days. A funicular connects Brunate down to Como.

Navigli

The Navigli are two artificial canals in Milan, northern Italy, build between 1179 and the XIX century.
I went few days ago there to shoot some reflections photos but when I arrived there the delusion was so big!
The water was drained in order to clean them, so no reflections at all, I had to change subject.



Hence I decided to point my camera to pubs (this area is one of the most practised for nightlife in Milan) and bridges there, until walking under one of these bridges I found this interesting spider.

Dancing gallery

The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a covered double arcade formed of two glass-vaulted arcades at right angles intersecting in an octagon; it is prominently sited on the northern side of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, and connects to the Piazza della Scala; it was originally designed in 1861 and built by Giuseppe Mengoni between 1865 and 1877.

Last night there was a show organized by one of the most famous Valzer schools of Milan and their students danced here. It was such a strange and romantic atmosphere.
