“walking with the use of poles” but which has countless identities and above all
it can be described as a sport open to everyone. “As a Nordic yellow and blue team

“Bobo Vittori – we will use these two days, Friday 3 and Saturday 4 May, to tell the story
our activity, to arouse the curiosity of passers-by about the various variations of Nordic walking and to give them a try, in
