It is an incredible emotion to assist to the show of the giro d’Italia… Thousands of people labouring by foot or bicycle since early in the morning, in order to see, encourage and wheel their own favorites (Basso, Simoni, Cunego, Savoldelli). A contagious enthusiasm. At the end of a true battle the best, Ivan Basso, has won, leaving more or less nothing to the other pursuers. It is incredible to see how simply they faced the roughness of the Mortirolo, the same climbing road on which we were labouring so much during the morning!

12 years ago, when we saw you so fast and serene, we were just children… but the passion that you have left to us will never disappear, even if we don’t know all the truth… thank you, marco

A 60 years old Australian man, in the course of the last year, has covered thousands of kilometers by bicycle along the roads and paths of Latin America, in complete solitude and with the only aid of its legs and the hospitality of the people who met along the way… A nomadic travel along the Americas faced with the right speed, chasing the rhythm of the seasons and the curiosity, without conditionings of sort. An unforgettable nomadic travel!

The synthesis of this experience is in his words: “La importancia de viajar es comprender con tus propios ojos la realidad, es decir observar de una manera crítica, sin que te lo cuente un tercero. Se trata de contemplar sin prejuicios” (the importance of traveling is to experience the reality with your own eyes, that is to observe in a critical way with no one telling you the story. It means contemplate without prejudgments).
