How beautiful Rome is …


I had forgotten how beautiful Rome is.

Words and pictures by Massimo Usai

I had spent several years changing airplanes at the local airport, but I had not entered Rome for about 15 years.

Too close to home to think about going on a trip. This is not my prerogative alone. I know a lot of people who live near big cities, but if they go on vacation, they go away from home.

Big mistake.

In any case, only two days in Rome to re-admire its beauty.

And if then, in the first days of January, it allows you to turn in spring clothing, it means that not only is it a unique city, but also magical.

This year (2020) it’s in fact just start now. Before a new wave of the Codiv-19 will come, think to visit Rome.

Con l’arrivo dell’autunno il paesaggio cambia senza perdere la propria bellezza. Le foglie assumono colori più intensi, la luce diventa più morbida, le giornate si accorciano e la natura entra in un ritmo differente. Nessuno guarda un bosco a ottobre pensando che abbia smesso di vivere soltanto perché non somiglia più a quello di giugno.…

After more than 25 years spent between London, Warsaw, and Brussels—three cities that taught me everything except how to resist a good coffee—I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with international outlets such as The New York Times, Time Out London, and Vancouver News.
Today, I’m the Director of Urban Mood Magazine and the Editor behind Longevitimes.com, where I explore stories at the intersection of culture, photography, and longevity.
I love blending images and words to turn every piece into a small journey—authentic, original, and occasionally a little mischievous.
In recent years, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Sardinia’s Blue Zone, developing expertise in longevity, traditions, and the science behind living better (and longer).
And yes—I’m also an Arsenal supporter. Nobody’s perfect. / To contact me massimousai@mac.com
