... a Gennaro

I state, before any criticism, that this is not a normal and usual news or travel advice, but if you have the kindness to read, between a few lines, you will understand and perhaps you will excuse me.

I consider this column a bit like a book, written with you and for you, a book of travel advice, with suggestions of places to visit, experiences to live, things to avoid, museums to visit, foods or traditions to do not lose. A book that allows us to deal with topics that are important to us such as traveling in solidarity and the successes or improvements we hope for those traveling with "special needs". A book for travel lovers that is aimed at just as many enthusiasts.

But as in any good book, the author is granted a license, that of dedicating his book to one person. I would like to dedicate this "book", but above all the entire MeTour.it project to Gennaro!!

A son, brother, friend, good and meek man, who loved and let himself be loved like few others, generous, ready and available for friends and relatives to fulfill wishes and needs without ever sparing himself. A man who lived his life with diligence, rectitude and a sense of daily duty and who allowed himself only one distraction, only one concession: Travelling!! He was what is defined as a TRUE TRAVELER: passionate, curious, eager to get to know new places, traditions, customs and foods. Like a Christopher Columbus or a Magellan, he began the journey already months before leaving, planning it, studying the route, analyzing the destination, the itinerary to travel, the museums to visit, the history, the excellence of the place, without neglect the people, their traditions, the foods... to make every holiday unforgettable for himself, but above all for his faithful friends who accompanied him.

A man who had immediately approved and supported our MeTour.it project, sharing its Vision and making his passionate experience available, a project where, one day, having finished his duty to the Homeland, he would have liked to give his daily intake. Unfortunately he didn't even have time to see it published, the cursed Covid took him away, but I am convinced that wherever he is, he continues to support us and give us his advice, not neglecting to plan and dream about the next trip!
