However these mountains, Pale di San Lucano, had been inaccessible. “It takes 4-5 and even 6 hours of strolling over the prehistoric rocks to get there. The mountaineers’ goal partitions are far-off there, and attending to them is an journey. Within the early nineties, they climbed these unimaginable peaks, official mountaineers knew nothing about them. They weren’t actual mountaineers, however there They had been brothers and buddies, born within the small city of Cencenighe Agordino, and quietly and slowly a enterprise”. Mates of Ilio De Biasio, like him, all the employees at Luxottica requested the documentary to commemorate their buddies who died on the summit in 2014, and so they paid for it. “So, somebody who grew up within the sweetness of the Marche panorama advised a narrative that was set in a a lot harsher context, however with an equally great, completely different sweetness”.
