Antonella Fornari
Antonella Fornari
We have known her for a long time, and she has spent just as much, if not more, time among the many mountains of the Dolomites. Antonella lives in Cadore and, as a biologist, has always combined her work with her great passion for the mountains. This combination has allowed her to study the environment in which she lives and to publish several books dedicated to our area. Over the years, she has received numerous awards, including being the first woman to join the “Caprioli” Rock Climbers' Group in San Vito di Cadore. For further information, we recommend taking a look at her website.

Giovanni Zucco
Giovanni Zucco
Giovanni reworked a manuscript by his father, Agostino Luigi Zucco, written in memory of his brother Gianni, who lost his life in the war. From those pages, Giovanni extracted the most significant parts, creating the current booklet, which ends with a poem by his sister Livia. Giovanni tells us: “I have been to Monte Piana many times, and even today it is sacred to me to make a solitary pilgrimage through that labyrinth of trenches and tunnels, overlooking the slopes of the mountain. I pray to God to grant me a few more years to climb up there... part of me is up there”.
ll bianco sentiero del cielo notturno
Questo libretto racconta la vita del ragazzo Gianni: i suoi sogni, i suoi desideri, l'amore per la sua ragazza Marietta, sino ad essere sconvolta dai terribili eventi della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Poi l’epilogo tragico sul Monte Piana…. il suo corpo non fu mai trovato, come quello di migliaia e migliaia di altri ragazzi (nel fiore degli anni) sui vari fronti della Guerra.
