A selection of 20 images dedicated to the naturalistic and cultural contexts that the Via delle Sorelle, the 130-kilometer Way that joins the cities of Bergamo and Brescia, crosses and offers to the gaze of the wayfarer.

A path "stopped" in moments, an emotional journey that evocatively recounts the path of discovery of the path itself: in fact, Alessio Guitti, in addition to being a photographer, is also the one who designed and traced La Via delle Sorelle, uniting ancient and new roads, searching for that greenery, those views and glimpses that makes it something unexpected.

A continuous search for a sometimes "relegated" nature that, in this Via, returns absolute protagonist. Walking in that limbo, in the hills, between plains and mountains, that makes one aspire to the best and at the same time atone for what is right not to forget.

The images thus become a sort of album to browse through for those who have already traveled La Via delle Sorelle and a small, intense anticipation for the wayfarers who will want to set out.

SLOW RIDE ITALY
