Meeting with the author Massimiliano Rampazzo.
Among the mountains of the Aurai, in the rugged heart of the Lagorai, the woods guard ancient voices and the springs seem to remember what men have forgotten.
Telmo is born the son of shepherds and high lands. His life seems already written: the malga, the cattle, the toil, the seasons that command more than men, and that deep bond with the mountain that cannot be explained, only lived. But one day, among rocks, silences, and hidden paths, Telmo glimpses something he should not have seen: an impossible glimmer, a trace of gold tied to legends that everyone knows and that no one dares to name too much.
From that moment on, his existence changes. That vision becomes a question, a call, an obsession. Growing up, Telmo finds himself chasing a secret greater than himself, populated by mysterious presences, ancient guardians, guiding animals, and buried memories.
But the gold of the dwarfs is not just a treasure; it is a test. Those who seek it must understand whether they want to possess the mountain or learn to listen to it.
A novel of roots, mystery, and inner growth, born among the Vanoi, Valsugana, Val di Fiemme, and the ridges of the Lagorai. A story interweaving Italian folklore, legends of Trentino, and imagination, bringing to light an ancient world made of woods, malghe, silences, fears, and wonder. For those who love mountain stories, folk legends, tales set in high lands, and that fine line where reality and myth blend.
