A journey through the most soulful doors of Italy, where history, beauty, and silent poetry meet in every frame.
A journey through the most soulful doors of Italy, where history, beauty, and silent poetry meet in every frame.
From my very first encounter with Italy, I realized that this land held more than landscapes, it held feelings.
Rome and Florence, so different yet equally striking, revealed the quiet power of doors as witnesses of time.
In Rome, I felt the weight of history: doors that watched empires rise and fall, carrying echoes of faith, daily life, chaos, and beauty in every mark left by time. In Florence, the capital of the Renaissance, I found delicacy: doors that feel like small works of art, shaped by light, texture, and memory. As you walk through Italy, you don’t simply see beauty, you discover it in silent details.
In this new collection, I invite you to look beyond the obvious and realize that every door is more than a structure: it is a gentle reminder that crossing into the new can open something within us.
Between light, stone, and silence, the island of Naxos awakened my first way of seeing doors — not as objects, but as guardians of stories, heritage, and invisible passages of time.
This is the book that begins the journey: roots, memory, and poetry captured in detail.
After Greece, Italy deepened everything. Rome and Florence revealed nuances, textures, and time etched into surfaces — a quiet beauty that lives in everyday life.
This second book represents maturity, presence, and the evolution of a gaze that learned to see beyond the obvious.
I am an author, a photographer at heart, a wife, and a mother, shaped by cultures, memories, and the courage of my parents, who left everything behind to give us a better life. From them, I inherited languages, travel, curiosity, and the freedom to grow.
This is my second book, a tribute to that legacy and to the moment in Italy when I first felt the impulse to photograph doors.
Italy entered my story long before it entered my art. In the golden light of Rome and the elegance of Florence, something awakened in me: the desire to preserve stories found in small details, worn edges, and timeless doors.
Through this new collection, I invite you to see not just architecture, but presence, emotion, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
