Photographer Luca Campigotto travelled to the Dolomites to capture the bleak mountain landscapes that saw battle during the First World War.
During World War I, Italian soldiers fought their way up into the air, ascending mountains in the Dolomites previously attempted only by professional climbers. Mountains, moreover, which had been intensely fortified and garrisoned by a powerful enemy, the Austro-Hungarian army. Italian photographer Luca Campigotto traced their footsteps, documenting what remains of these most extreme theatres of war for a book and exhibitions in Rome and Venice. Here he talks us through some of his most arresting images.
