Why living in the mountains sharpens your farsighting abilities

Many of us love the mountains: we go there to walk, to climb, to chestnut, to enjoy its silences. But... living there? Who makes you do it to stay up there, in the cold, without services? After having walked 8000 km along the mountains of all Italy with the Va' Sentiero expedition, Yuri Basilicò talks to us about what he discovered in his journey and why, in the twenty-first century, the mountains can be a laboratory for new ideas. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
