# NAVE VESPUCCI – CAPE HORN

**Rounding *Cape Horn* under sail** is both a dream and one of the ultimate challenges in seafaring. **The crew of the *Amerigo Vespucci***, engaged in its World Tour, **tell the story first-hand** in accounts collected by *Valentina Venturi*, accompanied by images from *Massimo Sestini* and *Maurizio Lapera*.

**Freezen waters and leaden skies**. **Sails and rigging stiff with ice**. Men and women, ready for a manoeuvre and planned to the finest detail. The whistles of the boatswain and his mates. Then, the beam of a lighthouse in the darkness and a roar of jubilation that spreads throughout the ship: it is 01:53 on 5 April 2024. And this is the **logbook of a feat**.

Foreword by *Giordano Bruno Guerri*.
