Why AlterVista?
The name AlterVista, or "Another view" stems from the need to recognize the wealth in duality and the complementarity of all things. AlterVista helps you think differently or otherwise, what appears as a certainty is often the result of a subjective perception and a brake to comprehend the world that surrounds us…
