On 22 April 1935, Ignazio Piussi, a Friulian mountaineer known for having pioneered numerous Grade 6 routes in the Julian Alps and the Dolomites, was born in Pezzeit, in the municipality of Chiusaforte (Udine). He also devoted himself to winter mountaineering and took part in a number of expeditions outside Europe, such as the one to Antarctica in 1968–69 and the one to Lhotse in 1975 with Riccardo Cassin.
