HERE you can support Andata e Ritorno - Storie di Montagna.
We tell the story of Edoardo Pontiggia's journey to retrace his great-grandfather Angelo's experiences as an Italian soldier during World War I on Monte Grappa. Angelo Pontiggia fought in the war, including the Battle of Solstice in June 1918 where he earned a medal for valor. The texts detail the harsh conditions, intense fighting, and heavy losses suffered by soldiers on Grappa. Despite surviving the war, Angelo contracted tuberculosis and died shortly after.
The text was written by Sebastiano Frollo, founder and author of an Italian podcast that explores stories and memories of the mountains. The translation and narration were generated by artificial intelligence; they were later processed and modified to ensure the best possible listening experience. We believe that using this technology makes it possible to share certain types of stories, memories, characters, and underexplored regions with an international audience. We want to give something back to the mountains, and to do so, we’ve chosen audio as our medium. You also have the opportunity to support and review this project; all the details can be found in the episode description. We hope you enjoy listening!
