In life, I do the thing I love most: I take people hiking in Chianti, my land, to introduce them to all the beauty of these beautiful hills. After walking and chatting, I share special moments with them. In a winery to taste some red wine that bears the name of this region, in a craft workshop where people work “like they used to” or in a farmhouse to savor a honey that has just finished decanting.

When I don’t have outdoor or wine tasting activities, I do the same things, on my own: I seek out new routes, new wineries, new experiences, out of a passion to know every inch of this land better and better. And every secret it holds.

Equipped with a solid education in history and geography, Peter resides in Tuscany but his fervent passion for the mountains often takes him along the Alpine arc. Between the “Dolomites at home,” the Julian Alps and the Lombardy foothills, he devotes himself to exploration and guiding. His love for the Tuscan highlands comes to fruition in the Apuan Alps, the central theme of his guidebook “Hiking the Apuan Alps” published by Idea Montagna in 2023, without forgetting the affectionate Apennines.

Since 2018-2019, Peter has been putting his training experience to use for Tuscan environmental guides, with a focus on landscape geography and history. An active member of the Siena CAI, he has several historiographical publications to his credit and has given to the presses with Morlacchi Perugia the collection of short stories “The King of Silence” in 2022.

Dynamic and adventurous, he has a strong drive to explore, preferring wild and isolated destinations such as Alaska, Svalbard and Namibia, personally organizing his trips. Passionate about climbing, running and trekking, this passion recently took him to Nepal to trek to Everest Base Camp and climb Lobuche East at 6,119 meters.

Despite his predilection for high altitudes, he does not disdain the sea and takes up surfing, a hobby that has led him to ride waves in places such as the Canary Islands and the Azores.

He is currently in the process of finishing a narrative guidebook on the Portuguese archipelago, a place that has captured his heart. In the quiet of his home woods, he indulges in moments of relaxation immersed in reading a good book, lulled by the swing of a hammock.

He has a dream in the drawer that he will eventually realize: to take a course as a Hiking Guide and maybe do SEO consulting from a mountain hut. For now, he is limited to doing this occasionally from his family’s mountain home.
