I stopped by MHOPS on opening night mostly out of curiosity. I already spend a lot of time at MOG, usually working remotely while rotating between coffee, meals, and the occasional drink. It is one of the few places in Genoa where you can settle in for hours and still have access to proper food and good coffee without needing to move every thirty minutes.
Every September, Recco turns into something different. Bells echo through the hills, cannons shake the air, colored smoke rises from the riverbed, fireworks sparkle in the night sky, and the streets fill with the tantalizing smell of food. This is the Sagra del Fuoco, the feast of the Madonna del Suffragio.
I spent an afternoon in Genova checking out two of its best viewpoints. My goal was pretty straightforward—get two great shots from overlooks across town.
I had my Canon R5 Mark II on my chest with the Canon RF 15-35 f2.8mm, my 5D Mark IV with the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 MK III lens on my hip, and honestly, more gear than I probably needed—but hey, that’s travel photography for you.
This new collection features 45 framed works of art, each capturing a different perspective of Genova— its grand architecture, stunning coastline, seamless blend of modern and traditional buildings, and the vibrant energy of its streets.
Recalling my first experience visiting Genova, Italy. A magnificent city where history and modern genuinity meet in the most unexpected way.
