Lorenzo Pini is a geographer and author of travel books. Born and raised in Tuscany, he completed his studies in Portugal. He dedicated the guidebooks "A Lisbona con Antonio Tabucchi" (In Lisbon with Antonio Tabucchi) (Giulio Perrone editore, 2012) and "Lisbon, ritratto di città" (Lisbon, portrait of a city) (Odoya, 2013) to the Portuguese capital. In 2015, after a stay in Cuba, he published "Havana, ritratto di città" (Havana, portrait of a city) (Odoya). He collaborated for several years with the publishing house Touring Club Editore, updating texts and itineraries of the "Green Guides" for Portugal (2017), Southern Spain (2019), Denmark (2020), and Tuscany (2021). Pini, who has always been passionate about meteorology and fascinated by weather and climate, writes about it on his blog meteotrip.it.
From a town in Siberia where temperatures can drop to -70°C, to an Indian city with 12 metres of rainfall every year, to Icelandic moors battered by the wind, the Gulf of Venezuela pounded by lightning and a Japanese city submerged by 7 metres of snow every winter.This book explores places where the weather is extreme and takes you on a journey to 30 destinations across the planet where wind, hurricanes, gales, frost and sandstorms shape the lives and faces of communities.
