Corriere della Sera and La Gazzetta dello Sport present the dvd series "The legends of mountaineering. Stories of men and mountains"
 Unpublished titles and rarities in a collection on the history of mountaineering and its protagonists
  

Summits never reached, unforgettable moments and mythical expeditions are the focus of "The legends of mountaineering. Storie di uomini e di montagne" the series by La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera that opens with the precious documentary film by Rossana Podestà and Paola Nessi W di Walter, for the first time available on dvd.
 In the series the exploits of Walter Bonatti, Reinhold Messner, Jerzy Kukuczka, Simone Moro, David Lama, Hervé Barmasse and many other great climbers, around the world to conquer the most coveted peaks, immerse themselves in nature and overcome their limits.
 
 The DVDs bring together rarities and previously unseen footage and are often valuable and evocative documentary evidence, such as the rare restored film - from the British Film Institute - showing the first images of life in Tibet captured by Westerners in the legendary attempt to climb Everest in 1924, or, from the CAI Film Library for the first time available to the general public, Marcello Baldi's famous film, completely restored, on the Italian ascent of K2 by Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli.
 
 After Walter's W, extraordinary tales, unpublished interviews and breathtaking views continue with the second release, for the first time available in Italian, Messner - the film, which retraces the legendary mountaineer's great exploits and expeditions, also reconstructing his profile as a man thanks to interviews with brothers and friends.
 
 The third release is dedicated to Cerro Torre with the first free ascent of the famous Via del Compressore, by David Lama. The adventures continue from dvd to dvd discovering Everest, the Matterhorn, Gasherbrum IV and many other peaks.
 
 Walter's first W issue is on newsstands with La Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere della Sera from Friday 20 at 10.99 euro. The others will follow on a weekly basis at the same price.
