About Me

My photo
Ragusa, Sicily, Italy
I was born in Deva, Romania, on 14 January 1978. In 2000 I graduated the Faculty of European Studies within "Babes-Bolyai" University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Since 2003 I started to work in tourism and had the chance to travel and live in Egypt and Arab Emirates for more than 6 years. Egypt will remain the dearest place to me, it's beauty is authentic and sacred, while the warmth of people has no match. At the end of 2010 I made it to Sicily and I just love the place. It is true, "without seeing Sicily, it is not possible to make a full idea of Italy. Sicily is the key to everything", as Goethe said in his Italian Journey, 1788. My passion for photography grew in time and now I find it the best way to express my emotions. Thank you for sparing some of your time to visit my blogs.

Il Presepe Vivente di Giarratana, Sicilia



In the most magic moment of the year, Giarratana becomes an enchanted Christmas crib. At Christmas all the town works in synergy to create the atmosphere of the living crib. In the streets of Terravechia men, women and children wear period costumes and work with instruments and tools of the ancient and disappeared crafts, recalling the past of this little town. A time during which farmers, housewives, craftsmen, and cattle breeders followed the rhythm of day and night and their life went on tuned with the harvest in the fields, traditional feasts and ancient habits.
