Then one day, talking with my wife Alessandra, endless source of crazy and amazing ideas, the great Idea came to our mind: my biggest passions, technology and photography, together to give me the chance to honor this mountain in my personal way, allowing many other people to enjoy it, appreciate it and be conquered in the same way that happened to me. I have a great passion for photography, so I couldn’t resist to take pictures, depict it and depict it again, but every time I got the feeling I still didn’t get its essence, its multiple shades nor the emotions this white giant can instill in your soul – astonishment, freedom, respect, icy cold, pristine nature.

The statistics behind this photograph are staggering: 35 hours of shooting, 2 months of post-production, 14 Photoshop files, and a final image that would print out (at 300ppi) to the same size as a freaking football (soccer) field!
