With just one month to go until my exciting new workshop venture in the Abruzzo National Park, I thought I'd share these evocative stories written by my friend and work partner Mattia Cialoni.
As a local to the parkland, Mattia has a long history with this park's wildlife and has shared some of his most memorable and heartfelt experiences in a series of diary entries.
You can read them in my English translation on his website, or if you're feeling adventurous and up for a linguistic challenge, you can read them in the original Italian.
