Fèro (Ferruccio Valentini) grew up in the middle of the Dolomites and spent the first half of his life as a shepherd, dairyman, hunter, and herb gatherer. He decided to live as the only human in the remote area of Lake Tovel and connect with plants, animals, and stones. When the Dolomites became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009 and nature has increasingly had to give way to tourism ever since, he rebelled. The taciturn herb wise man became a fighter for an intact mountain wilderness. He became politically active but repeatedly had to capitulate to bureaucracy and greed. His explanations about the value of wilderness and his stories about unique experiences with bears, chamois, and healing power plants are the secrets of one of the last wild men of the Alps.
Fèro's friend, the South Tyrolean nature expert Michael Wachtler, describes Fèro's will for freedom, his nature wisdom, and his tireless commitment against the exploitation of the Dolomites in this biography.
