He defines himself as a " modern bum " but behind his journey, which has become a lifestyle, there is a great faith and the desire to help others.
Cristian Moroni is touring Sardinia astride Furia , an improved Maremma with which he has already traveled 6,000 kilometers along the entire perimeter of Italy, without money , without a pre-established program and with only the help of the friends he meets along his I walk . A circumnavigation that lasted 15 months around the boot and to which the forty-year-old Roman , of Sardinian origins (he grew up in Santu Lussurgiu) wanted to add a long stage in Sardinia .
He founded the Cristian and Furia ODV association , whose purpose is to organize a charity dinner at each stage with the local associations. The proceeds of each evening are donated to local organizations on the basis of the indications that Cristian receives from the people he comes into contact with, local administrators or voluntary groups. Disembarked in Olbia a few days ago, Cristian and Furia traveled along the Statale 125 and tonight they found hospitality at the La Taerra farmhouse in Loiri Porto San Paolo and, after passing through the town of San Teodoro this afternoon, they will stop in Budoni . Tomorrow evening there will be a big charity dinner organized in collaboration with the amateur sports association Sardigna Equitours of Budoni , whose stables will offer logistical support for Furia, and the Pedagogika Onlus association of Posada . The dinner, open to anyone who wants to contribute to the cause, will take place at the La Suprema pizzeria in Budoni (via Nazionale, 164) and the proceeds will be donated to the Posada non-profit for the activation of a sports project for children.
A strange couple Cristian and Furia. And those who have had the opportunity to meet them on the streets of lower Gallura in recent days could not help but photograph them and wonder about the nature of their journey. Animal rights activists , worried about the mare's fatigue, Cristian Moroni silences them in the bud. Furia does not use the bit , mounts an anti-brake saddle and its rider protects it from any excess. "Don't gallop, don't trot but only walk, this is very important - specifies the unusual pilgrim - and if it's thirty kilometers, the rider does fifteen on foot and fifteen on the saddle". But one thing only if Cristian wants to do it , stop ten days in Santulussurgiu to find the friends of his childhood and adolescence, those with whom he shared the great passion for horses.
