18. A life at the pace of the flock
from Dolomiti Sound Stories [EN] · host VOIS & Dolomiti Superski
Every spring, Caterina De Boni sets out with her flock from the Friulian plain to the Dolomites, following the ancient rhythm of transhumance. Hers is a life of tradition and resilience: a nearly vanished craft that survives despite bureaucracy, predators, and the struggle to find pastures. In this episode, Caterina shares her choice to become a shepherdess, her childhood in Cortina between goats and luxury hotels, the discovery of the wild Magredi plain, and her love for a work that is at once toil, freedom, and community.
