Andrea Calcagno believes that the skate journey demonstrates the potential of Finale Ligure's young people to go far and overcome societal limits. He stated that the journey brought honor to the city.
Artan Marku is a young fashion designer, and Tommaso Busoni is a young actor. Their journey was documented using two cameras, offering a unique insight into their adventure.
The duo's motivation for the journey was not just about physical endurance but also about pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. They aimed to inspire others, particularly the youth, to dream big and strive for their goals, no matter how seemingly impossible they may seem.
As they look back on their journey, Artan Marku and Tommaso Busoni are filled with a sense of accomplishment. They have proven that with determination, courage, and a spirit of adventure, they can achieve anything they set their minds to. Their journey serves as a testament to the power of youth and the limitless potential that lies within each of us.
