Let me introduce this new post mentioning a series of numbers: 9:15, -3, 270, 2. Am I going crazy? Not yet (I hope so).

This morning my freelance reporter alter ego made me get up early and reach University one hour in advance because there was a task to accomplish: record the opening of the new Prada store in the city center.

Obviously it wasn't open yet, it was 9:15 a.m., there was just me, some street sweepers and a couple of sleepy passers-by and, if I forgot to mention, the temperature was -3 degrees Celsius (frozen snow was falling down).

Anyway I took some pictures and looked at the newcomer, there was a cd store before: the building is classic and the frontage of the shop respects its sobriety alternating showcases that seem to frame the clothes on display. 270 mq distributed on two floors designed by Roberto Baciocchi, which, to me, gave a measured but sophisticated touch. Not to forget, at the opening Prada as also renewed its partnership with the FAI, undertaking the redevelopment of Santa Giustina Abbey of Padua. Have a nice tour!

These are a couple of pictures I took during my last trip to London along Portobello Road.

It was saturday morning and I decided to explore the incredible market that comes to life on time with the first light of the day: if you have never been there you can't even imagine the amount of different items put on display in tiny spaces that magically seem to expand again and again...fairy.

Anyway, I was at the fruits&vegetables' stand zone when I saw this strange shop window literally full of sewing machines so I came inside the shop and to my surprise there were many many more! My favourite part of a trip is discover each time hidden corners or special places that are not usual destinations because it seems to me they are in a certain way only mine.

If you've taken pictures like these and you want share them send me by email and if I find them cool too I'll post them!
