Michela Bortolozzi (b. 1986) is a Venetian artisan and artist who develops projects at the intersection of art, sustainable design, and community development. After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts and completing two master's degrees (one at IUAV and one in Marrakech, where her project was recognized for its social impact), she furthered her training in traditional craft practices in Palestine, Morocco, South Africa, and Kenya. She has collaborated with the François Pinault Foundation, the Venice Biennale, and the National Gallery in Cape Town. In 2023, she opened 'Relight Venice' in Cannaregio, where she creates sculptural candles and sustainable crafts inspired by Venice. Since 2022, she has involved inmates from the Venetian women's prison in the production process, combining craftsmanship with social inclusion. Featured in the Louis Vuitton City Guide and selected by the Homo Faber Guide, in 2025 she will speak at TEDx Venice on craftsmanship, sustainability, and the future of cities.

Route description: starting from the Boazzo dam parking lot, we will climb a steep, stepped path through fir trees and rocks colored by lichens.

Once we reach the top of the trail, a wild, suspended valley will open up before us, carved out by the force of a glacial stream. We will follow the Danerba stream along the final pleasant, flat stretch of the valley up to the mountain hut above.

Half-day activity.

Val Daone: Val Danerba: 5,2 km A/R; 410 D+
