- Author of several books on mountain studies in Central Italy.

I am interested in mountains and everything relating to them. Human relationship to nature. Custodianship of biodiversity. 'Slow' rural livelihoods. Alternative economies. As part of an agro-forestry for climate change project, I became involved in cultivating truffles and nature-first farming, and am a member of a truffle cultivators' association.
