On 2 March 1928, Guido Monzino, an Italian mountaineer and explorer, was born in Milan. From the mid-1950s onwards, he undertook several expeditions to Africa and Patagonia, and, last but not least, led the first Italian expedition toEverest in 1973. The Monzino Refuge, at the foot of Mont Blanc, is named after him.
