Book presentation

On Wednesday, April 22 at 8:30 PM, the Teatro Dino Buzzati will host the presentation of the book “Rediscovering the Belluno Pre-Alps” by Giovanni Carraro.

With this volume, Giovanni Carraro completes the long journey of exploration of the Eastern Venetian Pre-Alps, which began in 2011 with Rediscovering the Treviso Pre-Alps, bringing his story to Valbelluna.

A journey of 543 kilometers on foot through seven areas that narrate the variety and beauty of the Belluno Pre-Alps: from the Coi de Pèra of Ponte nelle Alpi to the Nevegal – Col Visentin area, from Limana to Trichiana, from Mel to Lentiai, up to the Canal del Piave.

50 itineraries, some of which are unpublished, that touch on ancient stone quarries, alpine pastures and farms, small churches, waterfalls, gorges, and old villages, with views ranging from the Dolomites to the plain. Each route is accompanied by Tabacco maps, a technical table, a QR Code for the starting point, and downloadable GPS tracks from the Ediciclo website. Numerous cultural boxes and reports enrich the narrative with insights on history, legends, and local curiosities, offering the walker an authentic way to know and understand this mountainous area.

The author Giovanni Carraro was born in Pieve di Cadore in 1966 and lives in Susegana (Treviso). Hiker, writer, and communicator, he is the creator of the Prosecco Hills Trail of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.
Among the books published with Ediciclo: Rediscovering the Treviso Pre-Alps (2011), The Hidden Trails of the Treviso Pre-Alps (2013), Wild Visentin (2015), Dolomites – a glance among the rocks (2023), and Rediscovering Mount Grappa (2024). He collaborates with Telebelluno and Il Gazzettino, is a freelance journalist, a member of CAI, and a F.I.E. Hiking Guide.
