Oreste Forno, from the Valtellina , spends his days in the Valle dei Ratti, in the upper Val Chiavenna. A mountaineer, photographer and writer inspired by mountain stories, a thrill-seeker, he describes himself as the “guardian of the stars”. After having risked his life several times and witnessed major dramas in the mountains, he has found an equilibrium in this enchanting secluded valley, where he works as the warden of the hydroelectric power plant belonging to Edison. A story dominated by a passion for the mountains which conditions every aspect of life, in a picturesque natural setting.
