Sass Cavall - Giuseppe "Det" Alippi storia e leggenda

Home >Sass Cavall - Giuseppe "Det" Alippi between history and legend.

The cycle Piccola leggenda di Serpedrago e Sasso Cavallo (Little legend of Serpedrago and Sasso Cavallo) has had an interesting evolution in a five years span. Betwixt the graphic works, some publications have arisen (some born in a parallel way) or (as Luisa calls them) "author's drafts". So it was born Carte d'arte by Ferruccio Ferrario.

At the beginning, divided into three parts:

1- Sass Cavall (a Monography about a small mountain)
Histories of the Sasso, alpine histories, climbing ways, drafts and paintings.
It contains Piccola leggenda di Serpedrago e Sasso Cavallo (Little legend of Serpedrago and Sasso Cavallo) (Sass Cavall)

2- La stella del cardo e il covone di fieno (The star of the thistle and the hay sheaf), Giuseppe "Det" Alippi
A painted and told (in an interview) bio of Giuseppe "Det" Alippi with graphic and photographic portraits. Preface by Reihnold Messner.

This book is at the " Montagna Libri", inside the Trento Film Festival 2010, in 50 author's drafts, each one customised with a draw.

Recensione da "Lo Scarpone" luglio 2010

"Back to biographies, Luisa Rota Sperti's very original work on Giuseppe (aka Det) Alippi (the alpinist-peasant of Piani Resinelli) shines: a graphic album edited by Ferruccio Ferrario, a charming mix of paintings, interviews, remembrance and drafts from Grigna to Patagonia. The graphic solution is interesting: Messner's foreward is handwritten with second-thinks and corrections." (Translated by A. Molatore)

3- "Libretto per sentieri" (Notebook through paths), from which all the work is born.
On its way, a pamphlet of the notebook through paths (drawn notes on mounts and valleys).

In this work, portraits of Men and Mountains.

Sass Cavall - Giuseppe "Det" Alippi between history and legend:
