When in Milan, I had no car. The company I worked When in Milan, I had no car. The company I worked for offered me one, but I kindly refused. I used to cycle most of the time – those stone-paved, back-breaking roads are still very fresh in my mind. Some other times, I would have been that chap on the tram, staring from the window, lost in his thoughts.

LIBERTÉ EGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ | I guess the gen LIBERTÉ EGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ | I guess the gendarme on the right felt sorry for me, thinking that I had lost my chance to photograph the Minister of the Interior Nicolas Sarkozy addressing the journalists ahead of his meeting with President Jacques Chirac at the Élysée Palace in Paris. What the gendarme didn't know is that, as usual, I was more interested in taking pictures of the whole liturgy of power, including the press corps and the gendarme himself.

This has been a week saddened by Franco Battiato's This has been a week saddened by Franco Battiato's death. Hugely popular as a singer-songwriter in Italy, Battiato never stopped experimenting. He composed for movies, opera and ballet, directed films and painted. Italy's President Sergio Mattarella, in a statement, called him “a cultured and refined artist who charmed a vast public, even beyond national borders, with his unmistakable musical style – a product of intense studying and feverish experimentation.” A true son of Sicily, his humility was as conspicuous as his talent. I've been a big fan of Battiato since I was a teenager – I think I owe him my love for music to a great extent. As dance was very important to him (one of his most famous songs is "Voglio vederti danzare" – I want to see you dance), I thought of celebrating the life of Franco Battiato by sharing an image of mine I am very fond of.

Some people find walking on the Milan Duomo roofto Some people find walking on the Milan Duomo rooftop exhilarating. It's like wandering through a forest of fragile marble spires and statues and carvings and gargoyles and pinnacles and more statues. Couples love it there, unaware of the hat-wearing Devil who also likes forests...

WE WEREN'T BORN YESTERDAY  |  5 May 1821 • 202 WE WEREN'T BORN YESTERDAY  |  5 May 1821 • 2021  |  Happy birthday The Guardian! Whatever I have been doing during my professional life, this newspaper has always been a massive source of inspiration for me. Its huge respect for typography, its innovative interactive documentaries, its always clever choice of photos have taught me a lot, and they still do. When I need to check my English grammar, The Guardian is one of my first ports of call. On a personal note, who would have thought that I would end up living in Manchester – The Guardian's birthplace... 1. The billboard celebrating The Guardian, just around the corner from where we live. 2. Today's 200th anniversary souvenir edition. 3. My work published in The Guardian: a short film and... 4. ...portrait of Vidhya Ramalingam and Ross Frenett. Here's to you, The Manchester Guardian!
