Flight journal

My flights, retold

Every flight has a story: where I was, what I saw and why it stayed with me.

Sanctuary of San Luca, Bologna

The first flight

I made my first drone flight here, around six in the evening. As the drone climbed, the sanctuary, the hills and the city appeared on the screen.

It was evocative and thrilling: that is when I realised I wanted to show other people the world from up there too.

Old bridge of Bagno di Piano, on the Reno

The bridge among the fields

The brick arches of the old bridge, among the fields of the Reno floodplain, with the new bridge in the background.

From above you can clearly see how the river has shaped the plain around it, between embankments, trees and fields.

Ponte dei Cedri on the Savena, San Lazzaro di Savena

Autumn on the Savena

The river, the park and the footbridge of the Ponte dei Cedri in the middle of autumn.

Seen from above, the yellow and red treetops become a carpet of colour that you can't see from the ground.

Whitehaven Beach, Whitsundays (Australia)

The honeymoon

We went to Australia on our honeymoon. Flying over the Whitsundays was magical: a sea like no other and sand so soft it felt like walking on a cushion.

Seagulls and eagles kept me company – luckily, peaceful ones.

Bondi Beach, Sydney (Australia)

Dawn over Bondi

Bondi Beach at dawn, with the pool on the rocks and the first lights of the city.

In Sydney you can't fly everywhere: the harbour in front of the Opera House is a no-fly zone, and there the drone stayed in my backpack.
