"Itaca nel Sole" is a climbing route opened on the rock faces of the Valle dell’Orco in Piedmont. Among climbers, its fame is due not so much to its notable technical difficulty as to the symbolic significance that it still has today for legions of climbers and enthusiasts. The image of the Itaca is linked to an exceptional figure: Gian Piero Motti. A climber, writer and philosopher of the mountains, Motti embodied the doubts and anxieties of a generation at a crossroads. His story is told using testimony, photographs and archive material, interspersed with his famous writings.
