Naples, Barcelona, Los Angeles and Milan are some of the places visited in June. We have witnessed the time passing by in abandoned historical buildings, walked among the ‘rooms’ of ring-shaped house, immersed ourselves into an imaginary Iceland, and smiled in front of hundreds of plushes: a shamanic representation of the soul. Read here the month’s best stories.
