Fabrizio Masi

ViaggiareSlow

Born in Trieste but living in Muggia d’Istria, he has worked in the fields of communication, graphic design, and photography since the 1990s. His professional evolution is inextricably linked to a passion for slow travel and cycle touring, viewed as tools for the profound exploration of borderlands.

In 2012, he founded the association ViaggiareSlow Aps, transforming it into a specialized observatory for cycle tourism and the lands “east of the last border,” with a particular focus on the Alpe Adria region and Istria. An expert on the Parenzana, he has dedicated three works published by Ediciclo Editore to this historic itinerary and Istria: two technical guides and a narrative volume that gathers the voices and authenticity of the people encountered along the route.

As a Tour Leader and itinerary designer, he favors minor trails and secondary roads, convinced that the true soul of a place reveals itself away from the main routes. Today, he continues to write about and narrate bicycle travel not just as a sporting or recreational practice, but as a necessary cultural act to weave back together stories, landscapes, and people.
