INTO THE LEGEND

"Into the Legend" is a short film that tells the story of a man determined to achieve the goal of enter the legend by a solo ascent on an icefall. In the succession of the scenes we see him engaging in intense training, as he prepares to face the huge challenge that awaits him.

During his journey, that is in space but also within himself, the man spends the nights in a tent, immersed in unspoiled nature that welcomes and amplifies his tacit reflection on life and his goals. These are intense moments of solitude, with only the company of his loyal four-legged friend, his dog, who accompanies him wherever he goes.

Going beyond the challenge and the idea of a fame to be conquered, the man realizes that enter the legend is only a part of the real reward, that is the journey itself. He may feel that the moments spent with his dog and the pure experience of nature are the real treasures of life.

"Into the Legend" is a tribute to willpower and perseverance, the beauty of nature that surrounds us, and the value of friendship that elevates us.

In 2009 his artistic and human journey came together in 7milamiglialontano, a non-profit association which he conceived and of which he is the president. Here his art is expressed through travel and through solidarity-based objectives. Books published: “Religion” in 2009 “Est, Est, Est” in 2012, “Around the World” in 2015, “Ritorno al Centro” in 2017, and “5.1 H2oPlanet Europa” in 2019.
