Dear Skandorinis,<\/p>\n

it’s official: my new book is out. It sounds like a pretty small thing, right? It doesn\u2019t take much to put together a few words, a few pages here and there. It only takes a moment, doesn\u2019t it? In reality, it\u2019s been months of immense happiness and sleepless nights and research and phone calls and blank pages and then full pages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And now, here we are.<\/p>\n

The book is titled “L’Atlante dell’Insolito – Un viaggio tra i luoghi del divenire”,<\/strong> which can be roughly translated as “The Atlas of the Unusual – A journey through the places of the Becoming”.<\/p>\n

It is available in Italian only and it is published by Alpine Studio<\/a>, a publishing house full of professional and human people who supported me and cared for me with love during the course of writing.<\/p>\n

The volume is now part of their <\/span>“Orizzonti”<\/a> series, dedicated to women and men who had the courage to follow the call of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

And my Atlas speaks of this world, this fragile and precarious planet.<\/strong> It is an invite to travel through places that are changing or disappearing and which, though beautiful, are often left outside the common routes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the years, after long vagabonding between Europe, Asia, and the United States, I realised that my curiosity had begun to draw a clear guiding thread: the Becoming<\/strong> understood as inexorable change.<\/p>\n

The places – also told through the testimonies of those who loved and lived them – show the human impact on our planet.<\/strong> And between decline and beauty, I tried to follow an unusual path that leads back to the natural circularity of life in which the conclusion is always the return to a new, and perhaps greener, beginning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is skipping a few beats, as I write this announcement. Because a new book is a promise. It is an attempt to \"\"<\/a>change something. It is a journey before it’s all too late. It is a declaration of love for this small, big planet.<\/p>\n

The book can now be purchased on Amazon (https:\/\/www.amazon.it\/Latlante-dellinsolito-Vanessa-Marenco\/dp\/8899340870<\/a> , or it can be ordered in Italian bookstores. More information will follow in the coming weeks, but I had to tell you.<\/p>\n

Because I’m happy. Happy as it hadn’t happened to me for years.<\/p>\n
