The exhibition, entitled "Cathedrals of Ice. Vittorio Sella, Himalayas, 1909" seeks to pay homage to Vittorio Sella, one of the greatest mountain photographers of all time, by illustrating the extraordinary expedition in the Himalayas following Prince Luigi Amedeo of Savoy, Duke of the Abruzzi. The exhibition, curated by Daria Jorioz and Paolo Repetto, in collaboration with the Fondazione Sella non-profit association of Biella, comprises over 50 photographs by Vittorio Sella. The images on show, dating back to 1909, are all vintage (i.e. printed in the same year they were taken) and belong to a large private collection.
