In silenzio per tornare all'ascolto | Claudio Pelizzeni | TEDxPiacenza

Is speaking really the only way to interact with others and create shared experiences? In a world where only those who raise their voices can be heard, we need to find a way to listen again and restore value to communication. Walking the 2,189 kilometers from Bobbio (PC) to Santiago de Compostela in absolute silence can be a good start. Claudio Pelizzeni, traveler and writer, is the founder of the popular travel blog Trip Therapy. In 2014, he left the routine and stability of a banking job to pursue his dream: to complete an entire world tour without ever taking a plane. He succeeded, and in February 2017, after exactly 1,000 days, he returned to his native Piacenza, recounting his journey in the book "The Horizon, Every Day, a Little Further Away." Since then, he has never stopped traveling. His latest feat was walking the Camino from Bobbio (PC) to Santiago de Compostela, under a vow of silence. After 72 days and 2,089 kilometers, Claudio arrived in front of the cathedral of the Galician city. From this adventure, the author's second book, "The Silence of My Steps," was born. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
