Guida Dei Monti D'Italia
The Guida dei monti d'Italia (in English ''Guidebook to the Italian mountains'') is a series of guidebooks published in Italy by the Club Alpino Italiano (''CAI'') along with Touring Club Italiano (''TCI'') in two periods, the first from 1908 to 1932 and the second from 1934 to 2013. History Drafting and writing the guidebooks involved a much editing and many on-site inspections, and the series soon became a reference work both for amateurs and professional alpinists. The serie as a whole was considered ''monumental'', and the novelist Dino Buzzati defined it an ''arduous and remarkable achievement''. The "Guida dei monti d'Italia" is the ''best example'' in Italy of a ''systematic alpinistic guidebook'' or, in other words, a work describing, as much as possible, all the features and the routes of the mountain groups described in its volumes. In the early 2000s the death of the Alpinism, alpinist Gino Buscaini, who coordinated for a long time the publishing activities, and the re ...
