This is the second in a series of short projects about life in Venice.

Each February, many thousands of people flock to the city of Venice to take part in Carnevale, the annual extravaganza of dressing up, partying and celebrating – and more than a little madness. These images were shot in February 2026.

This project brings some of that madness to life in the form of 50 colour images: the absurdities, the peculiarities, the unusual in the usual and a sense of ‘life goes on amidst the madness’.

Bologna, the capital and largest city of the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy, is known by its three nicknames: la Rossa (‘the red’), la Grassa (‘the fat’) and la Dotta (‘the learned’).

The photographer will encounter many references to all three. The cityscape is dominated by red buildings and porticoes – 45km of them. Although la Rossa originally referred to the colour of these buildings it later became connected with the communist ideology supported by the majority of the population.

La Grassa refers to Bologna’s rich association with food, particularly pork, egg pasta and cheese – especially Parmigiano (Parmesan). The quaint Quadrilatero area of the city contains many market stalls, restaurants, cafes and bars which are alive from early morning until well into the night. Bologna is a foodie’s paradise.

What about la Dotta? The University of Bologna, founded in 1088, is thought to be the oldest in the world and its presence dominates much of eastern side of the city. The university is more than a collection of buildings: it brings youth, energy and a vibrant culture to the city.

Did I mention that I adore Bologna? Every corner is steeped in history yet it combines the old with the new as stylishly as anywhere in the world.

This is a personal collection of images which aims to convey the essence of Bologna, a mixture of travel and street photography shot during a hot week in July, 2024.

The zine contains 44 pages containing 29 images:

·       A5 (148mm x 210mm), full colour throughout
