Marco Orazzini
I believe in the therapeutic and social power of walking together in nature, as well as in the importance of discovering and getting to know our local areas—too often harmed by our own carelessness—so we can return to protecting them with greater awareness.
With me, you’ll follow trails and routes that are as original as possible, the result of dedicated research and in-depth exploration.
My hope is that by the end of the day, you’ll feel inspired, enriched, pleasantly tired—and above all, satisfied and recharged!
