The Beauty of Milan: From Gardens to Grand Architecture
The journey begins in Milan, a city where modernity and tradition blend effortlessly. Two standout photographs from this collection were taken in the heart of this stylish metropolis. One captures the serene beauty of a botanical garden, where nature thrives amidst the city’s urban pulse. The soft light filtering through the leaves highlights the peaceful contrast between Milan's greenery and its cosmopolitan energy.
The second Milanese photograph takes us to the famous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Italy's oldest active shopping gallery. Known for its stunning architecture, intricate glass dome, and elegant mosaic floors, the Galleria is a symbol of Italian grandeur. The photograph, with its attention to light and shadow, captures the timeless elegance of this landmark, bringing out its architectural beauty and the lively atmosphere of the city’s center.
Serenity and Charm at Lake Como
Moving away from the vibrant streets of Milan, Al Pagan transports us to the tranquil shores of Lake Como. The calm waters and picturesque villages that surround the lake create an idyllic setting for capturing the essence of Italian elegance. Through the lens of analogue photography, the beauty of Como is amplified by the natural play of light on the water and the soft textures of the landscape.

Liguria and Piemonte: A Glimpse into Italy’s Countryside
Beyond the cities and lakes, Al Pagan takes us deeper into the Italian countryside, exploring the regions of Liguria and Piemonte.

These photographs showcase the quiet beauty of rural Italy, where life moves at a slower pace and the natural world takes center stage.
