Tour from Torino to Japan in a Fiat 500 successfully brought to a conclusion!

One year filled with (childhood) dreams in a Fiat 500

Almost one year ago, during early summer of 2015, the two cousins Andrea and Luca Bonventre set out on an adventure in their Fiat 500, supported by Axel Gerstl: a tour from Torino all the way through to Tokyo (we had already reported about this in our newsletters 128 and 131). Their goal was to collect donations for Forma Onlus, a development association for the benefit of the children's hospital Regina Margherita. Beyond that, they spent a lot of time during their trip – which went through Southern Europe, Turkey, the Arab Peninsula, Central Asia, India, Southeast Asia all the way to Tokyo in the course of the past months – visiting foundations and social institutions that are primarily dedicated to improving the health and welfare of children. Here, they collected paintings and drawings that had been made by children depicting their personal dreams of the future, in order to publish them on their website www.berevolution.it

Since July 2016, 370 days after they had commenced their journey, Andrea and Luca are now back in Europe. Upon arrival at Malpensa airport in Milano (the Fiat 500 was transported back in a container), they did not know who to embrace first, since so many friends and relatives were awaiting them. During all the commotion, they weren't even able to read what had been written across all the signs and banners being held up. They were simply overjoyed to be back home. The past year felt like only a day gone by – although the journey in their heart would certainly never end.

After a year's trip, Andrea and Luca were able to draw up a very positive summary: altogether, they had covered a distance of 26.890 kilometers without any major technical difficulties whilst crossing 14 states, consuming about a hundred gas tanks full of petrol and being held up by police eight times – although five of those times, the police simply wanted to have their picture taken next to the little Fiat 500. Along the way, about 5.000 EUR worth of donations were raised in behalf of Forma Onlus and the great dream of journeying all the way to Tokyo, whilst collecting hundreds of children's dreams captured on drawings and paintings.

Of course, this entire adventure would not have been possible without the main protagonist of this personal road-movie: their Fiat 500. The car had become their home during this 370-day-venture, their most trusty fellow companion, a „true friend“ - as the two expressed it – with whom they shared many, many kilometers full of marvels.

„This is BeRevolution, dear Ladies and Gentlemen, from Torino to Tokyo in a 1965 Fiat 500“, wrote Andrea and Luca upon completing their mega-tour. „We hope you enjoyed the show!“

Yes, the Axel Gerstl team truly did enjoy the show and from the bottom of our heart: We thank you!
