Idea to create a window on the world is born from the passion for the trips, of the adventure and of the photo. Uniting these three elements we have imagined a photographic site that introduces photo of place, countries, city and natural landscapes of various parts of the world. There are documented visiting the world of internet before starting the creation of the present site to be sure of the job that we were about to undertake. A lot of times it happens that to the search of a place, he comes in contact with things that nothing don't center out entirely with absolutely what he is looking for and with photo or images place. We propose a devoted page to the presentation of the world that surrounds us. A great photographic file in constant disposition updating of whoever. The world as we live him, as we see him; this we show. Without alteration of image, without looking for images of poverty or wealth, showing a place as introduces him to the tourist as for the one that alive in that determined place.
We travel to the adventure, knowing the people of the place and making us tell histories of daily life of the cities in which find us. We travel alone and if possible with friendships done on the place that they can address otherwise us in the unknown or inaccessible zones to the tourists. And' so that we
knew Rafaél Disla, that allowed us in few days
to know the Dominican Republic giving us
the opportunity to not only visit the districts of the
capital (Saint Domingo)e of the hinterland of his
country but also the uses and customs of this part
of the Caribe.
He often forgets that not all the people on the Earth are fortunate and often also among who fortunate he can be defined there is who for way of living it has to make notable efforts to be able to arrive at the end of the month. In the way of living in Argentina we came to contact with humbler populations in comparison to ours. Accustomed to our country and with another conception of the poverty. You sees the poverty through the media, magazines and newspapers. But to see from near with her own eyes it is everything other, let's show up then us to personally live her

A word we learned in Argentina.
A word that is similar to Italian and that it exactly means the same thing but that perhaps with the comfort of the last years kind after the Italian economic boom of the after war was as put aside, hidden but not to forget, also because the history teaches us that after one flourishing period it always follows one of it of decadence and that more he had been a good period, longer he can be the return to the normalcy and therefore the return to the growth. This word is: "Indigence" and that is the absolute lack of every good. The need of everything and therefore a step down of the poverty.In this section, we want to show through our images some photos gone off in various countries of the world during one time period that has departed since 2003 to 2007. More or less the same time period but the images speak alone. Showing different habits of different people
inhabitants of the same planet but of governments
different, of different cultures and of religions
different. Don't misunderstand us. Not only her
poverty but the cities generally. What is seen
every day living in such places. It is not ours
interest to show only a face of the medal.
You will see what is seen living in that places.
The our constant to travel in the world has us
brought to know similar and different countries
among them. Uses and customs of centenary
cultures that himthey hand down from father in child.
Dominican Republic; Bonao
Or I have always wondered: Who knows as he lives the people that live in a city with more than a million inhabitants as for example Saint Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic or Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina and street saying. But there am even more unknown city to the most greater part of the people as Baku, capital of the Azerbaijan or the so many Asian cities.
? Thing makes the people of those cities?
? They are never seen and are not the seen never
them city.
? As they are the houses?
? As the people he lives and of what alive?
? Plazas they will have devoted with monuments?
? And then you devote to whom?
? That history they have to the shoulders?
? Possible that a documentation doesn't exist
suitable of such cities and that the few images or
do photos go up again to about ten years back?
? Because it never speaks of these places except to occasions of facts of black chronicle?
We are always asked there these questions. From children we always looked with interest the geographical atlas and that I saw and reading names of city and we asked us: " what will they do more than a million Chinese, Moroccan or srilankesi all together in a city?
Doninican Republic; S. Domingo
For example: "As they live a million Australians in a city as Sidney? And thinking about their roads of the cities, to the possible plazas, avenues, beer house, restaurants etc. we Tried to imagine possible trips for those roads.
Growing, the fever to the passion for the trips grew more always and loving the Spanish language often brought there in Spain for then to travel over ocean to the discovery of other different cultures from those European.
We traveled in many countries of Latin America, but when we arrived to Buenos Aires we were amazed. Also knowing that the American south city is defined more European for the architectural style and for the tall concentration of Europeans; around 60% descending from Italians, 30% from Spanish and to follow English, native Germans etc.
Already, because the native exist and also that is those people who come down from the first inhabitants of this continent. A reality inside another reality. Mark had then the fortune to know people that have devoted their life to the theme of the native and to totally come to contact with a world to me unknown.
Morocco; Marrakech Argentina; Buenos Aires
Traveling, alone, way of knowing is especially had a lot of people. It is more motivated to know people. In few months in South America I came to knowledge of great city, certain not in the immense Buenos Aires; capital federal that counts over 4 million inhabitants today but that because of the urban growth of the commune he is as un the neighboring cities forming so an only greater city from the immense confinements and entirely defined not that it counts over of 15 million inhabitants and that has taken the name in Great Buenos Aires or Cone Urbano but that in theirs "small" they have over a million inhabitants.
Dominican Republic:
El 35 de Yamasà Piedra Blanca
Great city with imposing monuments like the monument in the flag of Rosary or the marvelous cathedral of Cordoba.Turning Argentina in long and in wide, from the Earth of the Fire to Missiones and to it Jumps. Cities exist you ever feel before and deprived of tourism but that the punishment is worth to know. And we ask us because the tourism never arrives in that so fascinating places as St. Fernando of the valley de capital Catamarca, Necochea, You capital Rioja and so many others.
Many countries is known that they are not prepared to a thick tourism and it is also a true sin for the economy of the same country.
A theme difficult to face when he travels in very great countries as Argentina, Mexico, Saudi Arabia not to speak of great nations as continent as Australia, Brazil, States united of the North America, China and the two more
great Canada and Russia are the distances between the countries and the greatness of the territories. Difficulty to get used at the beginning for the one who was born as us and lives at least for a part of own life always in Europe, where a continuous is to follow him of countries, city and place. And the spaces are very small. In Argentina
for example the provinces are great
how European nazioni;nazioni.
The province of
Buenos Aires to make an example is
a little greater than the Republic
Italian. The cities, gone out of the Great one
Buenos Aires among them also
hundreds of kilometers. To the sides of the
road only the desert without any
type of construction some.
Argentina ; road Mar del Plata -Necochea
E'anche for these motives that for the one that
it faces a trip in that countries, it has to be aware of the distances that a country separates from the other, to make a good escort of fuel and possession in good condition the automobile with which is desired to face better the trip and anchor a cellular cellular phone if not a satellitare. A lot of times can pass and at times also one whole day before footsteps someone and if he is also on secondary roads very more time.
South America; Andean landscapeThe landscapes can be equal for hundreds and hundreds of kilometers, without shelters and without water. We immediately realized the hostility of the Andean landscape.
You space therefore. So great places to be able him to lose and to wander for "always" without finding someone who can help us.

We never know what it reserves us the destiny. Parties for Argentina separated only there after 20 days. Me Mark I remained only in this country speaking a Spaniard learned in way autodidactic and with words and pronunciation different from the Argentinian castellano. Not lost of mind I traveled in long and in wide the whole nation to know and I made knowledge with a lot of people; a lot of of which of Italian origin proud of his own origins. Practising a lot with the language and also looking very the television learned the Spaniard.
I also traveled in bordering countries with Argentina up to come in a town Argentinian named Necochea in which I remained around one year. Here I came to knowledge of a lot of people that then they became friends as the anthropologist busy Ruben A. Spaggiari in the theme of the native.
Since then thanks also to him I grieved
me to the photo and to the documentation
more possible place so that her
people of the whole world could
see any part of the world and that the immigrated
people could see again or to do
to see to own friends or you decay their places of origin.
I am very thankful to all the friends that I knew in that
period of my life and in that part of the world that me
they taught a lot on the America0n history before her
conquest from the Europeans.
Ruben A. Spaggiari and Marco
Left again for Italy I began a constant job of
photographic census of countries, fractions, city and natural landscapes. The job is long and I realizes of it. Thanks to my friend Davide that has believed in me and that he has always supported me I have been able to continue this project and therefore to go on. We are happy to be able to share this new adventure together; Him that it is for a long time my friend. The year 2007 have been the year of the exit of our site photographic web after two years of constant job and the year 2008 will see us busy in different trips and different adventures. I often think to when Davide asked me to let everything to go in South America to the adventure and I think what would be been able to happen if I had not gone there or that as our life was changed if he had not returned only in Italy for personal problems after few days. I believe that this was what the destiny had designated for us two and that now we are ready and we know really what wants to do.
We travel for the world documenting countries, city and natural landscapes through our photos showing her to all with our site for all those people whom cannot travel and those people who want to see the world and to know new countries and new cultures.
