Gabriele used to work for Nintendo but soon realized he was not meant to work in an office. Exploring the world on a bicycle and telling and hearing stories is what he loves the most. Tour guiding is ideal - it combines his two greatest passions.
When Gabriele isn't leading bicycle tours you'll find him working on film projects for his production company, H12 Film. His latest first full-length documentary, Valetti, II Camione Dimenticato (The Forgotten Hero) tells the powerful, yet often overlooked story of Italian bicycle racer Giovanni Valetti.
