Oscar Di Montigny will join us for the first presentation of 2025, together with Isabella Martini, to share his latest book, Un nuovo equilibrio (Rizzoli)!

The book:

Sometimes, life can resemble a ceramic object that falls to the ground and shatters. On the one hand, you must accept the reality that the object is broken forever and will never be the same. On the other, you can recognize that it is still possible to piece it back together. It may never return to its original state, but through the art of renewal, it can regain its vital purpose.

Oscar Di Montigny embarks on a journey to rediscover himself—not just a physical, outward journey, but a psychological, inward exploration. The call of the Himalayan peaks and solitary wandering through Ladakh, Mustang, and Bhutan become more than a balm for the soul and an encounter with others. Above all, it becomes a rediscovery of self. Much like the refined art of kintsugi, the author reassembles and reconciles the pieces of his life, embracing the scars of the past.

This book is a diary of profound experiences, extraordinary encounters, and magical discoveries in the remote altitudes of the Himalayas. It is the most authentic journey: a search for a new balance deep within the soul.
