We’re in the small town of Sutrio, which counts 1200 inhabitants right in the heart of Carnia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This village is part of the Borghi autentici d’Italia association, and it’s highly probable that it is also one of the oldest human settlements in all of Carnia. As popular tradition wants it (and remembers it),…
You can get here without passing on the Austrian highway, without a Slovenian vignette and by bypassing the Carnic Alps from Forni Avoltri. A two-hour and forty-minute drive from Trieste separates you from an unequalled little place, enjoyed by Germans, Austrians, and Italians alike! We’re in the Lesachtal valley (Lesna dolina in Slovenian): it’s an…
I don’t know which of the things listed above you like to do, and I couldn’t pick one to do again, having done them all, as each one made me feel different: joy, laughter, tears of emotion, peace and absolute relaxation. It’s maybe best to start at the beginning, so, shall we? It’s early February,…

Here we are, on a thread that swings between fear and insecurity, we’re being bombed with far from reassuring news: we’re tired, stressed and afraid…we’re in the middle of something that has run over all of us and doesn’t spare anyone. There are people that, nonetheless, want to go on, in the…
After exactly one year, I came back to Alta Badia, ready to live many new experiences! Here is the article I wrote about these places some time ago 🙂 This time I chose to stay in one of the apartments of Ciasa de Lenz in San Cassiano, more precisely in the Calendula, a place on…
I’m back after a short break J If you missed the first part of my trip to Styria, here’s the link. The next part of the trip to this Austrian region will be about its landscape and its lovely hills.
