The Path of the Vu

The Path of the Vu is a challenging but suggestive path, dedicated to Albino Celi, nicknamed “El Vu”, because he referred to everyone as "Vu". Celi is the legendary Valstavian who was inspired by Mario Rigoni Stern in the book “The Seasons of Giacomo” and Ermanno Olmi for the film “Il recuperante”.
