GREENLAND / A cruise into arctic lands

Going up the coastal part of the Davis Strait that separates the Baffin Sea from the Labrador Sea, sailing in the fjords in the middle of the icebergs is a rare experience.

ITALY / Butteris, the last Tuscan cowboys

The Etruscans called the Maremma the “Valley of Horses”. Since, on the wooded hills in the heart of Tuscany, the horse spirit has survived.
