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)
