Itaca nel Sole. Cercando Gian Piero Motti plot

Itaca nel Sole is the name of a climbing route on El Caporal, a rock face in Piedmont, Italy, that resembles the world-famous El Capitan. Among climbers, the route owes its fame not so much to its considerable technical difficulty, but to the symbolic significance it still holds for countless climbers and enthusiasts. The image of Itaca is linked to an exceptional person: Gian Piero Motti. Mountaineer, writer, and mountain philosopher, Motti embodied the doubts and fears of a generation at a crossroads. His story is told through testimonies, photographs, and archival material.
