Il ragno della Patagonia
Il ragno della Patagonia

 

Fulvio Mariani. Switzerland. 2022. 115’
Patagonian mountaineering has always been difficult and dangerous. There are two main reasons, the weather and the difficulty of accessing the mountains. The documentary draws a parallel between one of its pioneers, Casimiro Ferrari, "il ragno" (the spider) from Lecco, and the young Matteo della Bordella, who repeats his paths in a modern style. The aesthetics and drama of the events, however, remain unchanged over time.
