Description
Vittorio Sella spent considerable time documenting the local tribal people during his visits to the Caucasus. Italian climbers who visited the region in the 1990s were surprised to find prints on display that Sella had given the locals one hundred years earlier. They also found that his name was still mentioned during special occasions and events—he had become part of their history.
