"Il sapere... entra dai piedi"

which in italian means that the knowledge get through the feet. It is to say that by walking you can learn and understand a huge amount of things. Obviously, seeing, listening to ourselves and to what surrounds us is essential too. We must always consider the fact that we walk on the footsteps on which many people have walked in the past and on which as much people will travel in the future. Therefore, it is important to avoid unnecesary noises, to help maintenance by removing the stone, the fallen branch, or by cutting the bramble from the path.
