Telethon at Udine

Telethon race in Udine

Starting from friday 5 o' clock in the evening for 24 hours we had in Udine the annual Telethon race to collect money to be used for research in genetic diseases.


Speaking about the race .. people coming from different teams (firms, banks, schools ad so on ) run for an hour for 24 hours in the urban streets. Enrolment money is donated to telethon.

This event is part of the national telethon days that occours in this days too.

This is a worthy cause to treat diseases that otherwise will not have attention since they affect a restricted population in the world.



In the recent past different genetic diseases have been successfully treated saving life of many people.

First Snow

Since my experience at Leeds Met University i like sometimes to take my camera with me and make photos or video clips of the environment or particular events of my life.
Two days ago, thanks to a wonderful sunny day (after many days of cold rain) i took the opportunity to get some photos and video clips to the mountains chain that surrounds my village on the north side.
It had snow a lot the last days as you can see.
Mountains are more or less 50 km far from my village and the highest you can see at the beginning of the video clip is about 2000 mt high ... it's called "Chiampon" it is followed by a chain of mountains called "Musi", at the end of this chain you can see the highest mountain in the east alpes (Giulie) closed to the Slovenia border that is called Canin (2587 mt).
In the video clip you can also see two small castles (Villalta and Moruzzo castles built in 11 and 13 century) with a mix of photos i took during last weeek.
Sorry but the video clip is quite wavy because i had to use an high zoom factor keeping the camera in my hand.
