- Description: Italian journalist and writer Paolo Rumiz has turned travel into a narrative tool for exploring the identities, borders, and memories of Europe and the Mediterranean. His journeys, often undertaken by slow and marginal means – bicycle, local trains, vintage cars, ferries – focus on observation and listening to peripheral voices. From the post-Yugoslav Balkans to the Central European Danube, from Italian mountain ranges to the eastern borders of the European Union, Rumiz has crafted a personal geography grounded in encounter and storytelling

Ciascuno ha le sue spiegazioni per la malattia insana dell'andar su ruote, perché infinite sono le esperienze alternative che la bici riesce a sintetizzare. C'é il viaggio come leggerezza, come nomadismo esistenziale ed eliminazione del superfluo, raccontato per esempio da Marco Aime nell'attraversamento del Sahel. Ci sono la lentezza e la memoria, descritte da Giulio Mozzi, scrittore padovano che ha percorso l'Italia a piedi. Ci sono la fuga e la solitudine negli elementi, come ha saputo dire quel lupo solitario che è lo skipper Paolo Rizzi dopo un naufragio in mezzo all'Atlantico. O il viaggio come introspezione, il pellegrinaggio talvolta penitenziale di Werner Herzog e Peter Handke.

- Description: Patrice and Françoise Ryder set off on a tandem journey around the world on October 4, 1978. They say goodbye to their family in Paris, on the Champs-Élysées, and begin pedaling eastward. They cross Switzerland, northern Italy, and head down the Yugoslav coast, but mechanical issues and bad weather force them to stop in Dubrovnik for Christmas. From there, they decide to take a ferry to Greece to avoid the snow in Montenegro. They pass through Corfu, reach Athens, and then fly to Israel. Unable to cross Jordan, Iraq, and Iran due to political reasons, they fly to Cyprus and then on to Pakistan. In Karachi, a new chapter of their journey begins: Asia. From Lahore, they cycle to New Delhi and, on September 22, 1979, they cross the Himalayas to enter Nepal. They reach Kathmandu and later fly to Bangkok. After a second trip through Thailand, they continue by bike toward the Cambodian border, but the Khmer Rouge crisis forces them to change course. They head south and, in June 1980, enter Malaysia and then Singapore. They fly to Darwin, Australia, to begin a new leg of the journey: crossing the continent from north to south while raising funds for charity. They sleep in the bush, marvel at the endless Australian landscapes and the country’s natural beauty. The article published in 1981 in the Australian magazine Trochos reflects on their journey after 900 days on the road and 18'300 kilometers traveled

Walking is falling forward. Each step we take is an arrested plunge, a collapse averted, a disaster braked. In this way, to walk becomes an act of faith.
