Alpi Liguri primo amore

Year: 2004 Pages: 200 Take a very young man. Inject him with a malignant and tenacious mountain virus. When the young man falls ill with love for the mountains of his home, exile him for twenty years to a grey, flat country, without wind, without dust, without sun and without moon. There he will be amputated from the third dimension and forced to see and think horizontally. Then apply an additional sentence to be served in even more distant countries, on remote continents. In all there will be thirty-five very long years during which the world will parade in front of its mountains, obscuring them all. It happened to Silvano Gregoli, who survived thanks to the obstinate writing of mountain stories: small pearls of self-defense born in moments of acute nostalgia. A condensation of emotions and forgotten ghosts.
