Andrea Greci, born in Parma in 1978, journalist, photographer and author, has been dedicating full time to telling the Italian mountains with images and words. He has published articles on newspapers and periodicals, wrote and illustrated hiking guides on the Dolomites and Valle d’Aosta and over twenty books on the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, where he covered almost every path but also explored  canals and crests of These “little mountains” with crampons and ice axes. He covered to the Alps some classical itineraries especially on the “giants” of Valle d’Aosta, but he prefers to climb 3000m rarely visited, to walk on small glaciers or to cross silent mountainous forgotten groups.

Born in 2005, the Sports Association Idea Montagna proposes mountain-related initiatives, from mountaineering training and ski mountaineering to mountaineering and non-European expeditions. The Association also has, among its objectives, the respect and safeguard of the mountain environment. Every partner shares his mountaineering aspirations with these values ​​with the clear conviction that only then can the mountains and mountaineering be experienced by future generations.

Idea Mountains publications distinguishes itself with modern graphics and impact. The published volumes have all been successful in both critical and sales successes. The first two books, released at the end of 2006, concern the great passion of the founder: climbing on ice cascades. The volumes “Ice Vertical 1” and “Ice Vertical 2” have in fact become the reference guides of all the northeastern icebreakers and beyond.

In the wake of this success, the Association has published volumes of other mountaineers, quickly reaching for good levels of satisfaction and is looking for other authors for new works.
