Lucio Royas

Manuel Roca is not an only child. Lucio Royas is his twin brother that lives in Italy. He once lived in Mato Rujo but eventually decided to go back to his land of origin, namely Berbenno in the northern Italian Bergamo province. All he managed to stay far from the Alps was one year, then a strong sentiment of nostalgia kicked in and Lucio Royas flew back home. As well as Manuel Roca, Lucio Royas belongs to the cycling world and when he lived in Mato Rujo he strongly missed his roads. Pushed by the powerful attraction of memories he returned to cycle up and down the slopes that abounds in the area. When he recalls the first day he got home after the year spent abroad his mind is filled with thrilling emotions. He thought time had stopped forever. Nothing had changed since the last time he was there. The woodlands, the paths, the water streams, the meadows decorated with flowers, the avifauna, the peaceful animals, all had remained the same. The flow of his memories regained its right place within his soul. The inner call of his places and the desire to belong once again to his land brought him back for good. Now, he has settled down there and will not leave for any reason in the world. The love for his mountains is obviously estraordinary and gives a magic touch to the already enchanted scenaries.
