Roberto M. transhumance sheep shepherd

He is Roberto, a 50 years old sheep shepherd in North Italy. Unlike many others he is one of the very few that still manage to transhumance (move from pasture to pasture) on foot. The route to reach each pasture is usually inherited. He did it from his father and his father from his grandfather. Having the route means having the favor of local farmer to let you cross their crops.
