Alexander Bertuccioli

Alexander Bertuccioli is a physician, nutrition biologist, specialist in preventive and adapted physical activity, adjunct university lecturer, and author.

Alongside his scientific, academic, and educational work, he has spent many years exploring Indo-European traditions, ancestral symbolism, and the relationship between human beings, nature, and cultural memory.

Of Italian and Slovenian heritage, he has devoted particular attention to the worldview of the ancient Slavic peoples, interpreting it not merely as a testimony of the past, but as a possible framework for understanding contemporary challenges: our relationship with the land, the meaning of community, the search for inner balance, and the connection between humanity and the natural world.

Author of scientific publications, educational works, technical manuals, and fiction, he presents through his trilogy—*The Wheel of Heaven*, *The Axis of the World*, and *The Ray of Life*—a journey that explores cosmology, ethics, and tradition, culminating in the figure of the Vedun: the wise guardian of memory and harmony between the world of humankind and that of nature.

A passionate mountain enthusiast, nature lover, and ultra-trail runner, he considers direct contact with the wilderness an essential part of his personal, cultural, and spiritual path.
