Up to now, his dreams have taken him to forty-nine countries of the world (fifty, if one is to include Kosovo). The first mode of transport he loved was by train, with which he has travelled many times throughout Northern Europe, the Balkans and Russia. A little before the age of forty he discovered how far one can actually go on foot: he has crossed northern Italy from national park to national park, completed the pilgrimage on the Japanese island of Shikoku, journeyed the Francigena Way, and followed the World War Two trails in southern Piedmont.For the Neos publishing house editions, he has published In guerra non andare. Un viaggio in Etiopia dalla memoria alla scoperta (Don't Go to War. A trip to Ethiopia, from remembrance to discovery, 2019) and he contributed four stories to the anthology series Pagine in viaggio (Travel Pages) from 2018 to 2021.view less
