This past spring would have been my 21st paddling season in Valsesia. Why come back year in year out? Valsesia is just too special.

“When you are in that countryside ( the Italian Piedmont), you won't think about me anymore.You will think of Italian girls, who are way prettier than me.” 

Our adventure in the river happened by chance, just as the friendship with the guys that introduced us to the river. This summer we decided to go canyoning in river Sorba. We didn’t know what to expect

When I was a baby my parents took me hiking on mountain paths. I still remember the warm feeling rising in me while listening to the sound of streaming water in the distance.

I was born from the rock, from the depths of the earth. I have walked through the ages painting the path of my life, among wide valleys and narrow gorges feeding off everything in my sight.
