I was in Milan last week where I saw the most classy people,especially older people like this gentleman.I would prefer him more shaved but nevertheless he's very elegant
My most favourite thing about your photographs…people of all ages. I was just saying earlier on today, men look better with age. Is that a cape!? I LOVE it.
I've been living in London for over a year now and loving it but every time I see your pictures from Milan I am reminded of the charm of my beautiful hometown…
Love the cape maneuver and the rich colors in the pocket hanky and his true blue sportcoat (such fantastic felted texture–must be cashmere). He looks like a bearded Gregory Peck would have–had he lived until ten years beyond without aging another day.
Oh good lord!!!!! That is a gorgeous photo– the shock of white, the intensity and obscuring of the eyes by his hat, the nose just hit by the light. It's like modern day Titian painting. Beautiful.
Absolutely stunning. While his outfit is immaculate, it is the man wearing it that makes it so interesting. I think he can pull off the beard; perhaps his strong facial features prevent the beard from being overpowering. I wish I could have a cup of coffee and a long conversation with him.
Absolutely fabulous! Love his style, but his facial expression is what makes this a truly great photo. It's the perfect counterpoint to the young woman below on via Luca Beltrami.
Is that the great Demis Roussos? or the evil Ogre from the 80's French Christmas film "I believe in Santa Claus"?… I wonder if anyone would recognize either of those references.
He lives in my neighborhood in Milan and has always worn a cape and a hat like that. This is a wonderful portrait of a very stylish and very individual gentleman. His wife/partner is very stylish too, often in turbans and beautiful Indian fabrics. I have never spoken to him but he's always impressed me. So glad to see him here!!
Wow…. this is really amazing… He looks like a person in the fellowship of the ring,the movie, 'The Lord of the Rings'. He's ready to go on!? Anyway, it looks great.
great photograph. It's Michelangelo inspired, maybe the statue of Moses, or the Sistine Chapel ceiling? subconsciously you were thinking Renaissance solidity and mass.
