Non ancora quattordicenne, ma già pieno d’impulsi dinamici, fui dal mio tutore (non conobbi il bene delle carezze materne) inviato a Milano a lavar piatti, primo gradino della carriera culinaria, e ciò contro la mia vocazione.

- Description: According to Gazzetta Ticinese (May 24, 1924), engineer Fibinger (whose name may also appear as Fiebinger) was described as a globe-trotter attempting a round-the-world journey on foot. He set out from San Francisco in 1908 and reached the Dardanelles, where he took part in the First World War by enlisting with the Central Powers. He remained there for four years, suffering several wounds. After resuming his walk, he endured another accident in Tyrol, where he was buried for several hours under an avalanche, an incident confirmed by the Austrian police. By the time he reached Lugano, he claimed to have walked about 68,000 km (42,250 miles), and planned to continue via Chiasso to Genoa. He aimed to return to San Francisco within two and a half years in order to win a 40,000-dollar wager with a Californian club, which required him to complete the journey by December 1928
