Traversings

Italy, 2019

The crossing of the Orobie Alps with skis, from Como Lake to Carona di Valtellina, has been traveled four times since 1971: 180 kilometers and 15,000 meters in altitude in a week. In the most populated Italian region, a few kilometers from the logistics headquarters, from the industrial sheds, from the aperitifs, you discover wild, wonderful and solitary places. Maurizio Panseri and Marco Cardullo in spring 2018 travel and film the itinerary for the fifth time. The film Traversiadi is a journey through the mountains and in the history of mountaineering: Maurizio and Alberto go in search of the originators of the crossing, in the Bergamo valleys and in France … Le traversiadi is shot in the classic format 2.39: 1, Cinemascope, because if it is true that the Cinemascope was born to shot snakes, as Fritz Lang says, in Le Mepris by Jean-Luc Godard, we think it is fine also to shot skis.
