This shop is my love letter to Italy.

Hi! I’m Sam Adler, an award winning professional food photographer, photography educator, and traveler who fell head over heels for Italy the moment I set foot in Rome in 2012.

Since then, I’ve returned time and time again, each visit deepening my love for its beauty, history, chaos, and of course, food.

Italy isn’t just a place I visit, it’s where I feel extremely at home. The golden light that kisses the buildings in the late afternoon, the vibrant colors that fill every corner, and the timeless beauty of its architecture all inspire my photography. I aim to capture the essence of the way I see Italy: its warmth, vibrancy, and the little moments that make it so magical.

Every photograph you’ll find here captures a piece of what makes it so special to me- from the colorful houses on the cinque terre coastline, to the golden hour light on thousand year old buildings, to the people sitting and chatting in a piazza.

I can’t wait to call Italy my second home soon, I am currently looking to buy an apartment in Rome city center ❤️.

Thanks for visiting Sam in Italy! I hope you find a print (or a few) that make you fall in love with Italy just like I have.

Ciao Ciao,

Sam
