Lucianaz Franco

Franco Lucianaz, been born to Aosta the 16 February of 1941 and resident in fraction Valpettaz (Charvensod). Ex dependent Regional USL of the Valley of Aosta, Teacher of Ski and President of the GROUP Mineralogical Valdostano "Les Amis of Berrio" (from 1995). For his long and proven career of mineralogist (cristallier or researcher of champions of crystals) he is defined by now in the local environment one "legend." In fact, Franco, begins to collect mineral beginning from the years 70, enrolling himself in the GROUP Mineralogico of the Cral Cogne with the well President Giulio Albertinelli (he must not be forgotten that the first collector of mineral of Aosta's Valley, at least in he was modern, he was a Sicilian and he deals with the barber that, in that years, he operated to St. Pierre, or: Nazzareno Fiocca). Nevertheless, and as he likes to remember, the "virus" real for the passion of the stones, Franco picks it up in one period in which the hobby was indeed an abstruse word in the families farmer-workers; but him, in his heart, until already from little boy, he knew how to pick up them feeding that taste of the beautiful one even though intent to run after the herd on the tall pastures of the mountains of Rhêmes here and there. Along those eight seasons, in which you have to face of life it lasts, it is difficult to think that what can be loved it surrounds yourself among downpours, uneasiness and storms. The only certainty of that apprenticeship certainly results that he is certainly gone out of it tempered. Nevertheless it was thanks to his job that subsequently a depth expert of the ravines becomes the most hidden of the territory "valdostano", allowing together him to other companions or colleagues to for instance rouse that particular hidden as the pomegranates and the famous vesuvianes of the rodingitis I am it (green stones ofiolitiche), you define the most beautiful of the world.
