I introduce myself...
| My
name is Adriano Vanin. I was born in Trieste, they say,
in 1947. Up to 1966 I lived around there, at Monfalcone;
later on I moved to Milan, where I took my degree in Physics.

In
the meanwhile, I started caving. It was a lot of fun underground
and I explored quite a bit. I published several articled,
both serious and humorous, on many caving magazines. I serviced
as a volunteer in the Caving Rescue Team and kept the responsibility
for operations in Lombardy ten years long. |
|
I also hiked a lot in the mountains and was charmed by the
wonderful environment of the Dolomites and by their ancient
legends.
|
 |
 |
My
job has always been in electonics: instrumental landing
equipment, and things like that. I never switched my job.
I became chief engineer and lived many happy hours (but
not always as happy), met with interesting people and also
got the chance to go around on business trips and see my
share of the big world. |
I married Elvia: we met in a cave. She tolerates me -
with less and less patience - since over thirty years.
Together we made two wonderful girls and several trips
in our small-size camping car.

Now
I'm living in the countryside, on the first hills north
of Milan, in close intimacy with a PC, six cats and two
dogs. I happily retired and now I can devote myself almost
full-time to my interest in the Dolomitic legends. I wrote
an essay on the Fanes, which has been published in July, 2013, and two novels, which is my intention
to publish. |
