IL VIAGGIO È LA VITA: INCONTRO CON PAOLO RUMIZ

conducted by Alessandro Cinquegrani

«In reality we travel not to understand the world, but to understand ourselves. We work continuously to overcome limits, internal barriers, despicable prejudices constructed through books and our own culture. When travelling you come across surprises that amaze you and overturn clichés. But I don’t know if I will manage to understand myself before I kick the bucket».
Paolo Rumiz
