Cortina, la Regina delle Dolomiti

Cortina d'Ampezzo (Bl) Ph. © Silva Menetto

Alla scoperta di Cortina d'Ampezzo, la Regina delle Dolomiti, tra montagne innevate, cultura alpina e turismo. Vi aspetto sul settimanale internazionale L'Italo-Americano col mio nuovo reportage.

di Luca Ferrari

"Cortina è un simbolo di eleganza e accoglienza. Case arredate secondo il gusto ampezzano. Profumo di legno e gioia di ritrovarsi assieme. È un ritorno all’infanzia e tanti ricordi in comune con i miei amici. E comunque quando è caldo e l’afa si fa sentire in laguna, è il posto che si raggiunge più in fretta da Venezia per essere a contatto con la vera montagna, i boschi, i ruscelli, le rocce, le baite, i rifugi” Silva Menetto.
