Gioia writes about the places of the Dolomites: the lakes that change colour, the Ladin villages, the hour of dawn and dusk when the walls catch fire. On the site she looks after the guides that help you choose where to go and why, from the lesser-known villages to the viewpoints you do not want to miss.
She likes to start from the stories: a legend, a local product, a village carnival. Because you remember a place better when you know what makes it different from the one in the next valley.
