Images that document the most diverse aspects of the great and often contradictory American civilization. I traveled to the discovery of picturesque places and territories of timeless charm, between cities and incredible natural landscapes, many of which made famous also by Hollywood’s great films. I always visited carefully selected destinations along carefully studied itineraries.

In short, while traveling “on the road” and having also traveled the legendary Route 66, I preferred to do things “my way”, in my own way, without following the suggestion of the American writer Jack Kerouac, who in his famous book “On the Road ”says:“ Just follow the road and sooner or later you go around the world. It can’t end up anywhere else, can it? ” By doing so and always privileging possible photographic opportunities, I discovered the charm of breathtaking natural destinations and large American cities.

I walked to Times Square and Fifth Avenue in New York, the “big apple”, the city that never sleeps. I admired the elegance of European San Francisco, resting on gentle hills and overlooking the beautiful bay, on which stands the famous Golden Gate Bridge, which at sunset shows all its pride. I walked on the sunny beach of Miami Beach, where the ocean merges with the earth, between the lights and colors of a young and cheerful city, ready to welcome you with its warmth and liveliness and, always in Florida, I went back to being a child at Disney World and Orlando’s amazing amusement and fantasy parks.
