“This time closing my backpack strikes a chord: gestures which have become instinctive and automatic, a sort of sacred routine…..it is the last step of my hike!”
Marcello Duranti is talking about his journey to Montecarlo that has brought him to the end of the Alvina Project: a lonely hike of more than 1000 km through a harsh and challenging area in a unique region of the world, the Alps.
The Mountain University – the Edolo campus of the University of Milan – has followed the Professor during his trek, with an interactive map enriched by photos and thoughts which have described this wonderful experience along the Alps. UNIMONT has been committed to this project in order to promote and communicate how culture and science make a fundamental contribution in helping to valorize the Alpine Region.
“Despite the heat, the mist, the tiredness I feel, I am happy and proud of myself… this is my destination! Trieste – Montecarlo! Here I am!
