Fabiano Ventura is a landscape photographer specializing in environmental issues, he has taken part in numerous international scientific, photographic, and mountaineering expeditions. Since 2007, he has been involved in the project On the Trails of the Glaciers, of which he is initiator and director. His sensitivity towards the growing problem of climate change has led him to focus much on raising awareness of this phenomenon among the general audience.

The highlight of the exhibition is Montagne Italiane (Italian Mountains), an ideal journey to explore the entire Alpine arc from west to east, starting from the Gran Paradiso.
