Il vento non può essere catturato dagli uomini

The fate of a boy born among canals crossed by elegant gondolas and of a boy his age who lives on the slopes of the highest mountains in the world, the story of a friendship. It is a book made of stories. As a child, the author loved listening to the stories of old people, here he offers some of them, but adding his own stories, his own story. A story that begins from the lagoon of Venice, attracted by the mountains of his home, the Dolomites, and then starts in the myth of an ancient fellow citizen, Marco Polo, who went to the East and then returned, to tell his story. A Sherpa story of a traveler-mountaineer, a troubled soul who feeds on curiosity and encounters. A narrative that has the Sherpa world as its common denominator, but which ranges between the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and the United States of America, between facts forgotten or known by few, family memories, mountaineering experiences, known and unknown characters, travels, departures and returns that can make us understand the place we belong to or help us look for it within ourselves.
