Alex Bellini

Italian adventurer, endurance athlete, writer and professional speaker

Alex Bellini is an Italian adventurer, endurance athlete, writer and professional speaker. He was born in a small village in northern Italy, amongst the Alps, and it was from the mountain that Alex was able to learn his first lesson: cling to the rock and hold on, always looking for a foothold even where the support seems to be missing.
It is this philosophy that led him between 2000 and 2001, to participate in the most extreme marathons, including the Marathon des Sables. From the Moroccan desert to the Alaska’s wilderness: in 2002 and in 2003 he twice ran across Alaska, self- supported, for a total of 2000 km.
