BYDAVIDE FIORASO

Fill every moment of your life, without ever taking breaks. A trend that often has to do with the fear of being alone. Alone with your own thoughts and emotions. Yet the ability to stop, to give yourself a space of time between periods or situations of life, is fundamental to give new meaning to your own existence and to follow your own inner rhythm. A pause in a piece of music does not interrupt it. It is part of it. A vital void. If neglected, the execution is insecure, nervous. Even language works that way. We use commas, periods, we start a new line. We turn the page, we take a breath, we introduce silences. In the same way, we need to identify our pauses, to insert spaces between moments, periods, situations of our life. To foresee stops, without them we’d rush into chaos and we’d get confused, risking to put things on top of each other, not distinguishing them, not understanding what we really feel. We would be overwhelmed by events.

It’s a paradox but we need to stop to give continuity. To take a step back to bind.

Taking a break means getting in front of yourself, getting in touch with your often neglected reasons. Many times we live a life made of chaos to escape that. We are distracted, we struggle to stay behind things, to close them, to solve them, to reach them. And we leave our true needs in silence.

Pauses, as they work in music, give us precious opportunities to give meaning, rhythm and intensity to movements and activities. And broaden our essence. And "taking a break” becomes now a business model. After all, the success of the outdoor is also linked to this deceleration, which can be observed and experimented, for example, in the HangOut area of ​the OutDoor fair in Friedrichshafen. We are exactly going there.

Also girls can do it.

Every time I decide to start traveling, I start thinking about the countless places I would like to visit, usually not taking too much into consideration one of the most beautiful country in the world, ours.

This new experience started that way.

BY MATTEO MOCELLIN

Val Badia. One of those magical places, one of those landscapes that you would not believe it really exists.

Meadows of a green so bright that

seem to be fake that spread placid near fresh streams, spruce trees that stand out as if to hide the meadow when it turns into dolomia rock.

All the high peaks of this incredible chain of mountains rise majestically, the Sas dla Crusc and the Sas Rigais are the masters. At sunset the silence dominates, as if the place wished to hold back some few minutes from the day before while the sun goes down and touches the shadow of the Odle.

Below the Sas dla Crusc there is a small mountain church. Its consecration probably dates back to 1484, blessed by the Auxiliary Bishop of Brixen. Ancient and sacred are mixed here. Some people believe that it is the hand of God; then those less religiously inclined simply accept that feeling of contemplation that one feels in front of something so beautiful that the church of Santa Croce inspires.

Discovering CityLife

The futuristic geometries of the skyscrapers that rise in the park are mixed with the more classical forms of residential buildings that observe that modernity rising like calm brontosaurs.
