Dimai Peter, John and Antonio Cesare Siorpaes Dimai - Hospitable, 1895 |
In " Wanderungen in den Dolomiten ", a work of Baron Th von Wundt translated into " d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites," and published a few years ago by the Cooperative of Cortina, in the chapter on Rauhkofel appears the image of a precipice from which to abseil down a mountain climber. At bottom right, another climber it is observed. I believe that photography, taken in 1893, is at the center of inaccuracy, handed down from many sources. In some publications, whose authors probably did not read or misinterpreted the original German, the mountaineer on the right is in fact quite rightly acknowledged in the guide Mansueto Zuprian Barbaria (1850-1932). What I would rather go down the rope Holy Siorpaes Salvador (1832-1900), forerunner of the discovery of the Dolomites, active between the 60s and 80s of the nineteenth century. Wundt, however, never speaks of the Holy, but the "Santobuono. In my opinion, "Bua", name of a family now extinct Ampezzo, Tyrol is the corruption of German "Bebo" "boy, kid." Nel testo, la traduttrice scrive, con maggiore precisione, “il giovane Santo”. All'epoca della fotografia, scattata durante la traversata da Schluderbach alla Valfonda attraverso la cima del Rauhkofel, Santo Siorpaes aveva 61 anni e si era ormai ritirato dalle scalate più ardimentose. Per questo "il giovane Santo" potrebbe essere uno dei suoi figli, Pietro (1868-1953) o Giovanni Cesare (1869-1909), guide già affermate. Non intendo certo privare Siorpaes del piacere di un’eventuale impresa tardiva, che andrebbe a sommarsi a quelle compiute nel ventennio migliore. Rilevo però che talvolta, anche in queste ricerche, un termine frainteso rischia di stravolgere fatti che agli storici dell'andar affects close to crags. The crossing of Rauhkofel (less than the top group of Crystal, up officially for the first time in the driving Michele Wenzel Eckerth Innerkofler on 2/7/1883 and then fortified and fought during the First World War), has certainly seen many repeaters , even though they are in a suggestive context. Eckerth had suggested in the book "The Group of Mount Cristallo" (1891): shortly afterwards, Wundt took up the challenge and completed it successfully, but one of the two companions of adventure was perhaps not the one who, misunderstanding the dialect Tyrol, has long believed.
