Giorgio Bettinelli was an adventurous Italian writer and journalist whose travel stories captivated readers with their bold and unique exploration of the world. His journey from Rome to Saigon on a Vespa in 1992-1993 was the subject of his first book, In Vespa, which introduced him to the public as an intrepid traveler. Over the next several years, Bettinelli continued his epic voyages:
- Anchorage (Alaska) to Tierra del Fuego (1994-1995): A monumental journey that took him across the Americas, from the northernmost reaches of Alaska to the southern tip of South America.
- Melbourne to Cape Town (1995-1996): He traveled across the vast expanse of Australia and Africa, bringing a rich tapestry of experiences and stories.
- Tierra del Fuego to Tasmania (1997-2001): Another remarkable journey that added to his legacy of crossing continents and exploring remote and challenging landscapes.
Bettinelli’s books and his adventures have inspired many to see the world through the lens of a motorbike and the spirit of discovery.
