Ascensione al Dente del Gigante
- Mario Piacenza
- 1911
- Italy
- B/W silent
- 12 min
In 1911, Mario Piacenza filmed the ascent to the Dent du Geant. The copy of the film that is preserved, restored by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Torino, shows a collection of scenes of three roped climbers ascending to the highest point of the Dent du Geant and then, using ropes to descend from the rock pinnacles. The editing of the film seems to be imprecise and without the intention to constitute a documented narration of the ascent. With better results, Piacenza filmed the year after, the notable 'Ascensione al Cervino', and this suggests that maybe 'Ascensione al Dente del Gigante' served him as a test film for the more ambitions Matterhorn film.
