It has been my intention for years to make "Camminarte nelle Grigne", similar (but not the same) to the "Camminarte" in Val Fiorentina, celebrated in its eleventh year, summer 2016, at the Rifugio Città di Fiume.
An important project for 2017, this "Camminarte nelle Grigne" is focused on the figure of Giuseppe "Det" Alippi: 5 shelters 5 paintings.

IL CAMMINA(R)TE NELLE GRIGNE Cammina(r)te in the Grigne
It is a little height art gallery in five stages.
CAMMINA(R)TE is a path of drawings telling a legendary fairy tale.
CAMMINA(R)TE is an homage to the Grigne, a magic world of walls and peaks and to a very special alpinist: Giuseppe “Det” Alippi, farmer and alpine guide, a "real highlander" (R. Messner).
CAMMINA(R)TE is a walk from refuge to refuge, where the images become stop points on the paths.
CAMMINA(R)TE is a also a "sketched-game", encouraging a new tale by writing and painting its own legend.
