Walter Bonatti and Rossana Podestà met when they were both at the end of their careers. She was a famous international actress, whereas he was a much loved explorer of distant lands and above all a man who had made history in world climbing. Two very different lives, which as Rossana said, slowly came together to create an unbreakable bond. This film is the last gesture of love that Rossana offered her Walter, recounting the life of a great man with intense sweetness and simplicity.

Paola Nessi
After having enrolled in the vocational school CTC (Centro per le Tecniche Cinetelevisive) in Milan in 1987, she was the first woman to be taken on by the RAI as a camerawoman. She was responsible for the photography of numerous reports all over the world for Enzo Biagi’s well-known programme “Il Fatto”, which was broadcast until 2002. Again with Biagi, she documented the Israeli-Palestinian war and the dramatic moments following the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York. In addition to her professional activities at the RAI, she has also made promotional films for companies and documentaries for cultural associations and public institutions.
