Italian climber, who first ascended Broad Peak North solo in 1983 (7490 m) and Gasherbrum II in 1985.
He died after a crevasse fall at the foot of K2, aged 38.
Here's a link to his AAJ story about a legendary climb: the solo first ascent of Fitz Roy's north pillar, which he named after his wife and expedition companion Goretta:
