Sands, Palms and Minarets
"Sands, Palms and Minarets" is an evocative travel narrative that captures the essence of North Africa during the early 20th century. Written by Madeleine Vernon, this work offers a detailed and personal exploration of the landscapes, cultures, and architecture of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. The author vividly describes the shifting dunes of the Sahara, the lush oases of the palm groves, and the striking silhouettes of minarets against the Mediterranean sky. Through a series of keen observations, Vernon provides insight into the social customs, religious traditions, and daily lives of the local populations. The narrative balances poetic descriptions with historical context, making it a significant contribution to the genre of early 20th-century travel literature. "Sands, Palms and Minarets" serves as both a historical record and a literary journey, inviting readers to experience the vibrant colors and enduring spirit of the Maghreb as seen through the eyes of a sophisticated traveler from the interwar period.

Babytrekking Casentino. Pratomagno, Raggiolo, La Verna, Camaldoli, Moggiona, Stia
Sei mesi alla scoperta dei sentieri del Casentino, quasi 100 ore passate tra la natura, numerosi km percorsi all'interno dei boschi. Abbiamo scoperto luoghi magici, abbiamo condiviso fatiche, sorrisi, conquiste; ci siamo immersi all'interno dei boschi e ci siamo lasciati cullare dal loro silenzio, abbiamo attraversato torrenti, le cui acque sono diventate la colonna sonora delle nostre esplorazioni, abbiamo raggiunto vette innevate con panorami da cartolina e scoperto piccoli borghi ognuno con la sua storia. Da queste esperienze è nata la guida baby trekking sul Casentino, con la volontà di condividere con altre famiglie un territorio amato all'estero, ma poco conosciuto in Italia.
