Running

Run and Wine

Italy is a beautiful country for runners. From vineyard routes to breathtaking landscapes and iconic cities, Italy has very good running tracks. 

The sights are stunning and the ambiance is “typical” Italian with good times before and after the run.

When training for marathons I ran a lot of kilometers along the Trasimeno Lake in Castiglione del Lago and in the Tuscan hills.

Running with friends without the pressure of competition is fun, but participating to races in Italy and winning cash and food prizes is a very nice experience.

This is something unique and difficult to imagine when this have not happened to you.

All my medals are kept in boxes, but some trophies are displayed on the shelves to remind me of my running career as a FIDAL member in Italy. 

Conclusion

Sylvietta is not just a name, it symbolizes my wine story and running experiences in Italy.

It is a summary of my life.

Run 4 charity

On April 13 I ran the Rotterdam marathon, my 16th edition. This time I was not just running for myself, but also for a great cause: The Sophia Children’s Hospital in Rotterdam.

Thanks to the support of many generous donors I was able to raise a total amount of euro 1320. The money is for innovative, scientific research and projects that make a child’s stay in hospital more pleasant and better.

I am very proud of this wonderful achievement!

My next upcoming marathons:

  • Berlin Marathon on September 21, 2025
  • Tokyo Marathon on March 1, 2026

I am excited to be part of these world-famous races and enjoy every step of the journey!
