Being part of the ancient family of men and women of the sea means accepting and adhering to a fascinating as well as practical world of conduct, rules, little adaptations and precautions that distinguish sea folk from country folk.

Da good wave
Cook, in the famous journals of his explorations of the Pacific Islands, said that “as soon as a powerful, out of the ordinary wave arrives, the locals take the opportunity to indulge in their fun: equipped with a long narrow plank with rounded ends, they move away from the shore. They dive under the first […]
The last resort
Who knows if anyone has ever taken it upon themselves to walk the entire coast of Italy, from Ventimiglia to Trieste.

Surf for life
We are all born on the crest of a wave that pushes us inexorably forward. It is up to each of us, based on the table we have under our feet, to descend that wave in our own way, or style. We devoted an entire issue to this subject (Coast 2020), and now here we […]
Tavolara
Everyone has seen it, the imposing morphology of the island of Tavolara does not go unnoticed by those arriving in northeast Sardinia by air or by sea, yet hardly anyone really knows it. A granite and limestone monolith shaped like a great wall, four kilometres long by one kilometre wide, it rises vertically from the […]
To the lighthouse
When Virginia Woolf wrote her 1927 masterpiece “To the Lighthouse”, she could not have imagined that her mirage (in the novel, a lighthouse in the Hebrides) would become one of our most powerful and persuasive existential symbols. In a way it’s also metaphor for our spirit, our light and our eclipse, the flashing alternations of […]
