Nicola Bonaiti

company manager Bonaiti

Classe 1968, vive a Teolo, nei Colli Euganei, con la moglie, le figlie e i cani, inseparabili compagni di vita. Vegetariano e amante della natura, da ragazzo ha giocato a rugby, successivamente si è avvicinato al mondo dell’arrampicata e poi allo scialpinismo spingendosi sempre più lontano fino ad assaporare l’aria dell’alta quota. Ne è rimasto affascinato e non l’ha più abbandonata. Dalle prime esperienze in Sudamerica e in Alaska ha proseguito con le montagne dell’Asia centrale fino ai colossi himalayani. Dopo un primo tentativo al Manaslu, ha salito il Cho Oyu, il Lhotse e il Nanga Parbat. Nicola non è un alpinista di professione, ha una vita “normale” divisa tra la famiglia e il lavoro. Nei ritagli di tempo, spesso in orari improbabili, si allena con costanza e da solo, ispirato dai suoi sogni. Dalle sue salite ha portato a casa dei film, racconti onesti e profondi nati dall’esigenza di condividere le proprie emozioni.

Nicola Bonaiti, born in 1968, lives in Teolo, in the Euganean Hills, with his wife, daughters and dogs, inseparable companions in life.
Vegetarian and nature lover, as a boy he played rugby, later he approached the world of climbing and then ski mountaineering, pushing himself further and further until he tasted the air of high altitude. He was fascinated by it and never abandoned it.
From his first experiences in South America and Alaska he continued with the mountains of central Asia up to the Himalayan giants. After a first attempt on Manaslu, he climbed Cho Oyu, Lhotse and Nanga Parbat.
Nicola is not a professional mountaineer, he has a "normal" life divided between family and work. In his spare time, often at improbable times, he trains with regularity and alone, inspired by his dreams.
From his climbs he brought home films, honest and profound stories born from the need to share his emotions.
