Marcello

Marcello is six years old. He passed the first academic year. His father gave him a fishing pole as a gift. This morning, he woke up very early to go fishing alone: he caught his first fish. Sperlonga, Italy. Photo by @giovannicoccophoto

Brodić

Brodic is the place to be in Belgrade, with the best pizzas in town and German beer. Sitting at tables on a raft floating on the Sava River at sunset is tempting too. This is my favorite place in Belgrade. Photo by @mattlutton
