Agains the beautiful back drop of his mountains, Marco Confortola, an alpine guide from Valtellina, relates what it means to be a mountaineer: solitude, exertion, the joy of reaching the summit, the contrasting feelings of a man who, like him, chooses to be “wild”. The last expedition to the Annapurna is the one that has mostly marked him as a mountaineer. A hard experience, a direct encounter with nature and its majesty, but above all a grand enterprise narrated by his meaningful images, and charged with memories, sometimes even painful.
