Un Momento

This is a space where you can stand still. A quiet celebration of slowness and simplicity.
No external pressure, no expectactions. Follow the philosophy of La Dolce Vita.








Un Momento is a quiet photographic series that invites reflection on the value of stillness in a fast-moving world. Rooted in the philosophy of la dolce vita, it explores the question: what benefits might a slower, more intentional life offer today? The project began by documenting scenes traditionally associated with the Italian ideal of beautiful life, then evolved as I applied the same mindset to non-Italian landscapes. Created during a time of personal overwhelm, it became my own pursuit of this philosophy. Each image—misty fields, soft evening light, sunlit village corners—was captured instinctively, without staging, as an act of presence. Inspired by my Italian heritage and photographed across Italy and South West England, the series reflects an ongoing inquiry: Can la dolce vita be a way of being, a mindset that one can carry within, not just a place?
