Dearest, today I take you on a fascinating journey, a dive into the most remote past of our planet. My book, Written in Ice, is the product of years of research in the extreme conditions of polar and alpine glaciers. Imagine extracting ice cores from the heart of the Earth, true natural archives that preserve intact the traces of the climate and environment from thousands of years ago.
Each layer, every bubble of trapped air, tells us an extraordinary story: the temperatures, the composition of the atmosphere, volcanic eruptions, even the presence of ancient civilizations. This precious information is not just fascinating trivia, but fundamental tools for understanding climate evolution and, above all, for facing the challenges of the future. Get ready to discover how ice speaks to us about our past to help us build a better tomorrow. Carlo Barbante
We will be expertly welcomed by Chiara Alpago Novello at 9:30 for breakfast with coffee, tea, all the delicious things needed to start the day well—biscuits, yogurt, and cheeses, fruit jams, and whatever the awakening and the season inspire, all sourced locally. At 12:30, a light lunch, goodbyes, and toasts. In between, chatter, questions, and great ideas. As much as you want.
