At the same time as "Ivo's" World Cup in Liberec, Cup of Regions - Italian Champioship of regional teams - will take place in Liguria in Northern Italy. We mapped the map Cugnu du Rizzo for relay already last year, while the map Monte della Cavalla for Sunday's individual long this year in April. We arrived with Čenda (Zdeněk) and Jiří Daněk and of course we were headed by Rudi.
I really don't want to scare runners, but there is 285m of elevation at 800m of horizontal distance between the lowest and highest point of my small part of the map. Would you rather run it up or down?

It was Rudi de Ferrari who asked me to participate in a mapping of the map Cugnu du Rizzo. The area is located in Liguria, a mountainous region in norhern Italy (more accurately in Natural Park of Antol, 40 km NE of Genoa). First I met Rudi in March 2008 in Puglia, during somewhat bizzare blitz mapping of Castel de Monte. This time almost 11 months left until the race so we worked without stress.
As a very amateur photographer I found that this landscape, including its inhabitants and the weather, is photogenic enough for a separate gallery (I will update a link later). I hope I have managed to put something from reality to the photos. A pessimistic mapmaker would say the landscape was quite steep in some places, sometimes the weather was too wet and some of the inhabitants bothered him at work a bit. But I liked all aspects.
