        Dolomiti

        Personal Jo - Journal

        by Alberta Magris

        Look at the things of the world as they were ancient rocks made up of layers and layers of stories. Listen to what they have to say – they can connect you to the past and give you a solid foundation for the future. Fresh mountain air, changeable landscape and magical scenery: this is light and compact Staff Jo is the ideal companion during your excursions. It takes up little space in your backpack but knows how to broaden your horizons, it doesn't weigh you down but it knows how to inspire deep reflections. Majestic deer and ibex horns alternate with delicate sun-drenched flowers; the profiles of the most beautiful and well-known peaks give way to the lakes in which trees and mountains are reflected in a continuous silent dialogue. The popular stories: it seems that witches usually gather well protected by the fog that caresses the valleys. The legend of King Laurin, however, tells the origin of theenrosadira, the phenomenon whereby the peaks here take on a fabulous reddish color at dawn and dusk. Dolomite rocks can be austere, but don't be fooled! As soon as the sun's rays peek out from behind the peaks, everything changes in an instant.

        Venezia

        Personal Jo - Journal

        by Alberta Magris

        Venice: an amphibious creature that does not allow indifference, a magical place where everything you know no longer matters. We move in timeless spaces, crossing waterways and stone fields. See that? is Zanni, the crafty or foolish servant of the Commedia dell'Arte. Bizarre characters roam the streets, hidden in turn by masks and fog. Venice is elegant and proud, noble and haughty, decadent and brackish. Don't try to resist her, surrender to the labyrinth.

        Puglia

        Tra Cielo e Mare - Between sea and sky

        by William Dello Russo, Giovanni Simeone, Johanna Huber

        The seafaring heart of the Puglia sends its beat like a tom tom from port to port. And it is a heart made up of small and lively fishing villages that stretch out into the Adriatic and are embraced by it, of whitewashed whitewashed villages, of worn and shiny stone streets. And each one smells of salt and fish. The beach is near the house, the sea almost at home. At dawn, the light imbues the perfect geometric interlocking of houses, churches and castles overlooking the water and illuminates the fishermen who set sail on colorful boats.

        Belvedere

        In volo sulla Toscana - Flying above Tuscany

        by Guido Cozzi

        "Beautiful things, seen from above, are even more beautiful." There are several publications that tell about Tuscany from the sky: from certain heights, this land appears even more spectacular. But only this book makes use of an unprecedented point of view: that of bird's eye view, high enough to detach from the earth's crust, too low to be at high altitude, moving in that sphere that belongs to the world of birds.Using any means he has ever raised from the ground - helicopter, hot air balloon, motor glider, paraglider, ultralight, biplane -, climbing towers and chimneys, using drones, telescopic columns, wireless controlled machines, self-built gimbals and a lot of work, Guido Cozzi has created a totally new iconography of Tuscany: from above, but not too much ...
