Bearded vulture

Ladies and gentlemen, the bearded vulture!

This is probably the biggest bird in Eataly, at least as far wingspan is concerned (280 cm): it has been recently introduced again into the western Alps in the area around the Parc National du Mercantour [link] and the Parco delle Alpi Marittime [link] . Since 1986 140 bearderd vultures have been released in 4 different sites throughout the alpine arc and Piedmont was one of them.

So, if you go for a hike in the mountains just above Cuneo and you are really really lucky, you may spot this magnificient creature flying high in the sky

Done with collage on plywood board and acrylics.
