Il quindicesimo Ottomila

Year: 2014 Duration: 50 min A great passion, a philosophy of life: for Reinhold Messner the mountain has always been full of "other" and profound meanings that refer to the ultimate meaning of existence. Protagonist of feats that have entered history, this living legend of mountaineering has decided to dedicate a tribute to the mountains "to tell what happens in us when we give ourselves over to the mountains, to their dangers, but also to their greatness and their mysteries". Thus was born the idea of the Messner Mountain Museum, defined by the mountaineer as his fifteenth 8000: five locations scattered between the Dolomites and Ortles, in which relics of the history of mountaineering alternate with works of art and objects from the Alpine countries of all over the world, collected during travels and expeditions. In this extraordinary DVD Reinhold Messner accompanies us to discover the values of the mountains; of its values. A unique and fascinating path of knowledge and reflection which is at the same time "a meeting place with the mountain, with humanity and finally with oneself".
