Description
Leone Sinigaglia (1868–1944), a native of Turin, was an Italian composer in the circles of Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák. A passionate mountaineer, he was the first great Italian climber in the Dolomites. This English translation of his book, a classic of climbing literature, was published shortly after the Italian edition, one of the first books to include Vittorio Sella’s photography.
