Un viaggio in Lapponia coll'amico Stephen Sommier

A swift, fever‑driven expedition carries the narrator from Copenhagen’s bustling canals to the silent, pine‑filled expanses of Lapland, guided by the generous support of friends who provide both funds and fine photographic equipment. The prose moves with the speed of a train, inviting listeners to feel the exhilaration of crossing the Scandinavian landscape in a single, concentrated month.

Along the way, lakes shimmer with “blonde hair” and the air hums with a quiet that seems almost otherworldly compared with Italy’s clamor. The author blends keen scientific observation with lyrical reverie, describing everything from the orderly churches of Stockholm to the gentle rustle of birch forests, while noting how the people’s movements differ subtly from those of the south. Each scene is rendered as a sensory medal, a glimpse into a culture that values calm and harmony.

Co‑authored with Stephen Sommier, the travelogue promises a vivid mental portrait of the far north, a refreshing “psychic shower” that will linger in the listener’s imagination long after the journey ends.
