From the Apennines to the Alps, from the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise NP to the Gran Paradiso.
An intense and passionate journey dreaming of an encounter with a wolf.
A poetic portrait of the two most important and ancient protected areas in Italy.
THE NEW BOOK BY STEFANO UNTERTHINER
«Le montagne del lupo collects the images I took hidden behind a bush, which I “found” on a path following a track. Wolves, but also chamois, Alpine chough and crows, deer… the unexpected encounter with a wildcat, the glimpse of a landscape. This is not a book about wolves. Instead, it tells the story of the journey I took to be able to photograph it».
Stefano Unterthiner | From the Introduction
«Le montagne del lupo is one of the most intimate, delicate and intense nature stories Stefano has ever produced: like a veil of light filtering through the leaves of a hornbeam at dawn.»
Emanuele Biggi. Naturalist, photographer and TV presenter.

«Learning to live with the wolf means paving the way for more inclusive, sustainable and conscious models of coexistence, which are important for all components of biodiversity. And this book is a further step in that direction.»
Francesca Marucco. Professor of Zoology at the University of Turin.
