Let’s get ready to go to Livigno for the probably last snowboarding journey of the winter season.</p> <p>I’m pumped, jacket, pants, goggles, beanies, boots, sunscreen, money, keys, extra socks, board, everything is in the trunk of my car, I’m ready to go! </p> <p>A good 90 minutes driving to get there, no traffic at all - maybe because it’s late and everybody has already arrived -  loud rocking music as usual, quick ritual “focaccina del pompato”  just in case and I’m arrived.</p> <p>As the spring comes I tend to forget things, it happened before with the boots in a day of total powder, it happened with the jacket, many times with the goggle, so this time I had to forget the gloves. I’ve already had that experience a couple of years ago when I went to do downhill by bike and I felt jumping as I had to: scratches everywhere. This time I only lost my fingerprints, my palm is now perfectly polished.</p> <p>The park was still huge and trails where perfectly melted for jibbing, lots of fun.</p> <p>To complete the awesomeness pit stop at the hot springs - the free once next to the river in Bormio - and a few minutes of relax before driving back home.</p> <p>Last but not least, to complete a perfect day I forgot my sunglasses on the roof of my car, realized too late but still got luck: I’ve found them in pieces in the middle of the road, when reassembled they hadn’t a scratch!</p>http://www.carlodeagostini.com/post/4752746444http://www.carlodeagostini.com/post/4752746444Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:55:00 +0200snowboard<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljqozniXqn1qcsjefo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>Spring sunset, London.</h2> <p>Who says that in London is always cloudy and rainy?

It looks messy but if you try to read it carefully it’s quite straight forward, except for the “Cappella” (chapel) and the “Uscita Nord” (North Exit) which are in the middle not meaning anything to me.</p> <p>I have to admit that I’ve found the Bar easily even though the hospital has 9 pavilions and I had to walk across 3 of them, but on the way back I met a person that has been working at the hospital for the last 25 years and couldn’t find pavilion 5.</p>http://www.carlodeagostini.com/post/4655244196http://www.carlodeagostini.com/post/4655244196Sat, 16 Apr 2011 10:54:00 +0200photohospitalcommunicationdesign<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_liei2jDIKB1qcsjefo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h2>Accademia di Belle Arti di Urbino</h2> <p><br/>Since the last week I’ve been teaching “Regia Multimediale” at the college of art in Urbino, Italy.
