A message from Paul Markey:

I have been travelling to Italy for more than 30 years,
and there’s always something new to discover.
I love photography, art, architecture, gardens, Italian cities
and countryside. I have travelled from the south of Sicily to
the northern Italian Alps, by train, plane, bus, car and bicycle.
One of the great pleasures of travel is sharing the experience
with others - please join me on what will be a very special day...
