[2] The 9 October 1963 his life radically changed due to the Vajont disaster, which swept away the lower part of Belluno and the hamlets near the lake between Veneto and Friuli, causing over 2,000 deaths.

[4][8] Together with the youngest of his brothers he moved to the Don Bosco boarding school in Pordenone: this was a difficult period for him as nostalgia, the sense of imprisonment and the lack of Erto's woods tormented him constantly.

[4] One day in 1975, Renato Gaiotti, from Sacile, was casually walking in front of Corona's studio in Via Balbi, and noticing several small sculptures, decided to buy them all.

[3][4] Shortly afterwards, Gaiotti commissioned Corona to create a Via Crucis to be donated to the Church of San Giovanni del tempio in Sacile.

He consequently found a master in Augusto Murer of Falcade who taught him the art and allowed him to enhance his technical and artistic knowledge.

Corona was part of the crew that won the bronze medal in the Italian Bobsleigh Championship held in Cervinia in 1972.

[12] Characters and echoes of the past resurface through Corona's lines, who faces topics such as man's relationship with nature, with his roots and with the looming economic and technological progress with a passionate and somewhat melancholic gaze.

[13] Corona continues to alternate moments of writing, wooden sculpture and climbing with conferences, meetings and events and participates in the creation of some documentaries about his life.

[21] In 2021 he had been reinstated in the program and remained there until the definitive closure on 27 June 2023 to come back in the same role from the following 5 September, moving to Rete 4, another Italian channel, with È sempre Cartabianca.

[22] In September 2021 he performed in the videoclip of the song Oh Lord Vaarda Gió by Davide Van De Sfroos and Zucchero Fornaciari.
