Missed opportunity!

Hi Mazzani, I was in Parma this cold weekend with my kids, looking for swimming pools and enotecas. This is a great article. I love the Dolomites and am very happy to learn about Solda. Your city is wonderful...I never before just ate hunks of Parmasian cheese on a plate, it was very good!

Re: Missed opportunity!

What a pity! But I'm happy you agree my town and our cheese...
I am also a Dolomites' great lover...and appreciate you SP pages and topos!
Cheers.

Gino a great friend

Gino Soldà was a great friend of Georges and Sonia Livanos. They admired his climbing style. When they were in the Dolomites, particularly in the Civetta, often Gino would make a large detour to come and spend a few hours with them before going back to his work late the same evening. I have a nice photo of him with Sonia and Robert Gabriel (must be 1951 or 1952) that you can see among my pictures and that you are welcome to use.

Re: Gino a great friend

Ciao Eric,
i didn't know Gino was a friend of Georges and Sonia...i'm a great fans of Georges and i've been numberless times in Dolomites and Calanques to climb their routes and Rebuffat's ones.
i've seen your fine picture of Gino with Sonia and Robert; i'd like to attach the picture to my Soldà page, but the SummitPost functions don't let me make that... Only you - if you want - are authorized to do it...
Thank you very much for you kind message!
Cheers.
