> Rom - Istanbul - Journey |
30./ 31. August 2011, the journey begins...
Gianluca Fiorentini starts his journey in Rome. The first route are some few "test kilometers" through the historic center of Rome. On the right hand side, you can see a picture of his Fiat 500 in front of the colosseum. The next country of the journey ist Slovenia. Beech forests, grassy dunes and resting cows are gracing the countryside. The emerald green river Krka, villages and country houses, hardly any traffic... The Fiat 500 easily floats over the asphalt, driven by an engine, that is overflowing with strength and is cheerfully singing the first thousand kilometers..
Serbia is the next aim of his journey. Novi Pazar, a city with a crazy
mix of all ethnic groups, cultures and religions. Flavor of roasted
coffee, moneychangers and veiled women everywhere... Passing the first
minaret and then the first moaning of the small engine. Like honey for the
bees, the Fiat 500 is arousing attention of the people of every traversed
country, magnetizing glances, inspiring photos, excited questions and
conversations...
In Bulgaria Gianluca is finally reaching the greatest monastery of the country, that is sitting in a forested valley, built up on the massif of Rila. It is a beautiful feeling to have still the aim of the journey kept in sight, already smelling the flavor of the east... and Europe ends now, although the journey only just had begun. ... according to texts of Gianluca Fiorentini (freely translated by employees of company of Axel Gerstl) In the next newsletter you can read how the journey continues. Gianluca Fiorentini's stay at Turkey, especially in Istanbul, and his return through Greece to Rome. |
