"How much we have laughed with Stefano and Francesco in that mythical and legendary instructor course of the Italian Alpin Club. Such unforgettable days...

I'll remember you for your great generosity: you were a humble person (even if you and Francesco in Tagliacozzo set a route named "Zero Humility"), always ready to lend a hand toward those in need.

You were truly humble, and you had that big contagious smile.

I'll remember you like this, with that smile, in the mountains, happy at the top of one of the many routes you set."

Goodbye Giovanni

But above all, you pushed and motivated us to keep following our passion.
You did it with a smile, maybe in a light-hearted way, but always determined and sincere.
Your jokes, never foolish, made us laugh at others, at us, but also an incentive to keep on pushing ourselves, to take one more step to grab the hold above us... 
Even at the risk of falling. 
You have always done one more step, one more move, if needed, boldly and decisively."

 

You are with me, you are with all of us. Always.
