One of the better views I've had in the Dolomites, in last year's summer. This autumn I'll be here again. I can't wait to see what this looks like with autumn colours. Is it the end of September yet?

Little hike in Val di Bresimo. Passing hikers warned us to go slow for a bear ahead, but we didn’t see it. 🥲 #mountains #trentino #italy
If you wonder what you can do for #Palestine, your time will come sooner than you are ready for. Dock #workers in #France, #Greece & #Italy are refusing to load military equipment destined for #Israel. A #genocide requires a lot of logistics/resources, so much so that all levels of society are involved. Be there and be counted when it creeps into your meetings, your procurement reviews, your accounting, orders, shifts, artistic opportunities...
Living in #Italy, I rarely take pride of living compatriots: that's silly and a cliché, and it's stupid to take pride of something you did not do (I guess).
But let me forget this for a second.
So sure, I can be proud of Sinner, Mattarella, Muti, Giannotti, Piano et al. (NOT in this order)
...But of all italians, let me be 100% proud of #FrancescaAlbanese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_Albanese), who definitely is the Italian of the moment
And for what it matters, I stand by her. 💪🏼 💪🏼 💪🏼 💪🏼
Respiro a pieni polmoni l'aria sottile dell'alta montagna, mi abbandono fiducioso all'abbraccio del bosco, scopro i segreti della vecchia guida della Valle del Cervino. Senza fatica, con il sorriso sulle labbra.
Venerdì 18 luglio picnic nella foresta di protezione di Antey e chiacchierata sugli impianti veramente geniali della SIP.
