2011ill., ril. Viviamo in un'epoca dove la velocità domina la nostra esistenza. Ogni giorno dobbiamo essere veloci nel lavorare, mangiare, comunicare e anche nel nostro tempo libero dove superiamo lunghe distanze senza soffermarci sulle bellezze e opportunità di conoscenza che il viaggio propone. Questa guida ci riporta a ritmi di vita rispettosi di noi stessi e dell'ambiente rivalutando la lentezza come mezzo per la lettura del territorio. Pensata per gli ecoturisti, gli amanti della natura e i cicloesploratori. Vi proponiamo un viaggio, in una zona enogastronomica ricca di varietà e di sapori, senza l'impiego dell'automobile e dell'orologio e percorribile lentamente in bicicletta o se desiderate a piedi. Consigliata la sosta anche prolungata presso vecchie osterie e antiche ville per gustare le diverse specialità locali quali l'asparago bianco di Bassano, il radicchio rosso di Treviso, la soppressa (squisito insaccato della Pedemontana), le ciliege di Maser, i marroni del Monfenera e il prosecco servito con il sorriso che denota la rinomata ospitalità delle genti venete.

2019ill., br. Diciotto canzoni, diciannove donne straordinarie. Simone Sarasso, autore innamorato della montagna e della fatica, racconta le eroine del trail running con le canzoni che sono diventate, concerto dopo concerto, la colonna sonora della sua vita. Una raccolta di ritratti non convenzionali. Dagli AC/DC ai Green Day, dai Doors ai Metallica passando per le sonorità più ricercate (ma non per questo meno selvagge) delle Bikini Kill e dei Pogues, Sarasso ripercorre le carriere delle atlete più forti del panorama italiano e internazionale. Regalandoci un concept album da sfogliare e ascoltare, pagina dopo pagina. Un viaggio ricco di emozioni, assoli, e imprese impossibili. Da leggere come un romanzo. A volume sconsiderato.

2019ill., br. Una bici da donna rubata, un lungo tragitto da Milano a Roma e un grande sogno: partecipare alla Trans Am Bike Race, la gara di ultracycling unsupported più lunga e dura al mondo. Inizia così nel 2006 l'avventura di Michelangelo Pacifico, grande appassionato di ciclismo deciso a realizzare il proprio desiderio in ogni modo, nonostante lo scetticismo di amici e parenti. A undici anni da quel primo esperimento e dopo una lunga serie di giri cicloturistici, tra sfide vinte e fallimenti, Michelangelo finalmente arriva alla Trans Am Bike Race negli Stati Uniti, con tutte le nuove prove che questa comporta, dalle nevicate a tremila metri agli incontri con gli orsi. Iniziata ad Astoria, nello stato dell'Oregon, sulla costa dell'Oceano Pacifico, la gara si è conclusa a Yorktown, in Virginia, sull'Atlantico, dopo un percorso di 6.800 chilometri portato a termine in venti giorni. Concepito come una sorta di diario della corsa, questo libro racconta di una grande scommessa che Michelangelo ha fatto con se stesso per dimostrare che, per inseguire i propri sogni, è necessario spingersi più in là del noto, a volte anche oltre le proprie forze. Perché nessuna impresa è impossibile per chi è mosso da una grande passione.

L'"andar per monti" del nostro gruppetto di amici montanari è un'esperienza di vita che dura da molto: a questo perdurare nel tempo rendiamo l'omaggio di questo "libro dei ricordi", un brevissimo riassunto dei tanti, tantissimi momenti passati assieme tra i monti.
