This year, we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of "I'm Not Afraid of the Wolf." Two days in Lessinia will be dedicated to the story of the wolf and its relationship with pastoralism, featuring images, field experiences, and discussions on the themes of coexistence, tourism, the local area, and animal husbandry. Nature photographer Gianluca Damiani will share his work and experiences with wildlife. This will be followed by a convivial moment at a mountain hut and, at dawn the following day, an immersive wildlife watching experience in the heart of Alta Lessinia.
