Visions of Italy: Snapshots of a Mediterranean summer

After a snapshot of summer in Italy, without the long queues at customs and a four hour journey? Gentleman's Journal friend and photographer Pietro Favaron takes us on a journey through the hot climes of the country's summer, using his own photographic works, spotlighting the natural beauty as well as well as the manmade fishing towns of Puglia...

Liguria, La Spezia

Old charm still standing

"This is the essence of Italy, classical, minimal, unchanged for centuries! It feels like a movie frame from the 1970s."

Costiera Amalfitana

Only in Italy

"This is just unmistakably Italian. Even the peppers themselves seem to swagger."

Puglia, Porto Cesareo

Work and rest, same place

"The colours of the nets, the umbrella, the quiet of the port... it’s a perfect mix of daily life and holiday."

Liguria, Baia di Paraggi

Sun, sea and stone

"A classic Italian scene from above. People drying in the sun, kids jumping in the water... it’s summer, just how I remember it."
