I traveled 8000 km in 470 days without ever returning home. I faced snowstorms, replaced 11 pairs of shoes and crossed a bear. Two chronic diseases have weakened me to the point of blocking me : the story of Luca Terenziani

Luca Terenziani, a 43-year-old Venetian, completed the longest hiking trail in the world, the Sentiero Italia, which stretches from Friuli Venezia Giulia to Sardinia. He walked nearly 8,000 kilometers over 470 days, starting on May 18, 2025, and finishing on August 30 in Santa Teresa di Gallura. During his journey, he faced extreme weather conditions, including snowstorms, hail, and temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius, and had to replace eleven pairs of hiking boots, three backpacks, and parts of his tent. His progress was delayed by two autoimmune chronic diseases, ulcerative colitis and spondyloarthritis, which required biological treatments. He described encountering a bear during his hike in a section bordering Austria, calling the moment magical. Despite physical challenges, Terenziani felt enriched by the experience, stating he gained more than he lost.
