SYNOPSIS
Itaca nel Sole is the story of Gian Piero Motti. Important mountain climber to world level, Gian Piero Motti it became a generational myth because understood before everybody that the mountaineering was not only what all they saw, they told or they practised: going down over the rough surface could be discovered as it was an allegory of the world and the life, what he defined the “Nuovo Mattino”.
Itaca nel Sole is the history of an adventure: that to go down for then going up again, or rather the essence of the “Nuovo Mattino.”
Motti tries to return to a depth humanism of the mountain, but in the night among on June 21 and on June 22, to the 36 year-old age, it kills him.
