The pilot

But who is that man?


First of all is, as we tell in Rome, 'the best fig of the bigonce'. And on this doesn't rain on! For the rest it needs to recognize that it is not easy to understand what apparently pushes a normal person to fly in hot-air balloon, especially in an epoch as the actual one, dominated by the motor and where noise is synonymous of power.
P&C two pilots that have put on familyAn explanation, even though partial, can be drawn extrapolating some paragraphs from a grafologic investigation on some writings of a balloonist.
