The second chapter of the Crossroads project takes us back to Africa. We pick up exactly where we left off in Zimbabwe with "Bubucar"—the legendary Land Cruiser 70 series (4.5L V6) that serves as my faithful companion.
Into the Wild
We head south through Botswana, where the sheer vastness of the plains and the abundance of wildlife never fail to leave me in awe. This time, unusually heavy rains forced us to constantly adapt; many roads had transformed into rushing rivers, and several areas we had scouted for base camps became completely inaccessible.
From the Karoo to Luxury
After crossing the border back into South Africa, I found myself once again speechless before the immense scale of the Karoo. We reached Knysna before transitioning our travel style—shifting from rugged campsites to the world of luxury lodges. I document the Shamwari Private Game Reserve, one of Africa’s most renowned eco-lodges, which even features its own private airport. The journey concludes back in the Karoo, where a historic hotel and stunning panoramas provided the perfect backdrop for my latest farewell to Africa.
A Growing Legacy
This second chapter allowed us to meet more wonderful people and encounter diverse cultures that truly expand the mind. These new episodes will join the previous ones in a comprehensive series of twenty-five 24-minute episodes, all while I continue to write the next stages of this ambitious project.

Crossroads: Cultures in Motion
A project I have nurtured for a long time: the dream of traveling freely aboard a 4x4 vehicle, expertly modified to tackle any terrain while serving as a space to sleep and work. Alongside me, a multi-ethnic team ready to seize the moment and narrate it through the lens of their unique cultural and professional backgrounds. This is how Crossroads: Cultures in Motion was born.
The Journey Begins
We set off from Durban, South Africa, with our first team and a guide I had met during previous documentaries—a ranger with incredible skills and a fantastic passion for nature. Our route follows the East Coast almost to the border of Mozambique, before descending toward Lesotho. From there, we head further south to Knysna and the Garden Route, taking a detour north into the Karoo, then on to the Cape. The journey continues through the desert into Namibia, up to the Angolan border, through Botswana, and finally reaching a milestone stop in Zimbabwe at Victoria Falls.
Art Without Borders
As we travel, the team evolves, and we encounter diverse cultures and artists. The 4x4 itself becomes a piece of "mobile art," decorated by street artists along the way—a living testimony that culture knows no borders and unites the world.
An Ambitious Vision
My project doesn’t end here. The ambitious goal is to travel to other corners of the globe, using my documentaries to witness how connected the world truly is through the medium of art and culture. My dream is to organize an exhibition on every continent featuring these photographs, the decorated vehicle, and the music collected along the way.
I am currently working toward this vision, but for now, the adventure has begun—and it has already changed and enriched me.
How to Watch
The first documentary series is currently airing on the Marco Polo channel, available throughout Italy and across Europe on Eurosat (Channel 55). Negotiations are also underway for broadcasting in the United States.
The adventure continues.
