Our friend Giacomo


The " Trofeo Scaccabarozzi -Sentiero delle Grigne" is dedicated to the memory of Giacomo Scaccabarozzi, dead in a tragic accident on August 2nd 1998, while he was fliying with the paraglide above the Grigna slopes.
Born in Missaglia in 1951, since very young he was a frequenter and lover of the mountains, approaching more and more himself to the practice of trekking, mountaineering and ski mountaineering.
Active member from 1988 of the Gruppo Sportivo Alpini of Missaglia, he becomes the president and the promoter of it, organizing excursions, ascensions and trekking, also in foreign countries.
In the nineties he led some alpine expeditions on the Andes, on Himalaya and in Alaska; in 1997 he reached the peak of the Cho-Oyu (8201 meters), after having climbed in solitary, the NorthWest crest. Giacomo has also written two books, " A due passi dal Paradiso" (1993) and " 100 idee per respirare " (1998) both published by Bellavite Editore.
Through this last book, edited just after his death, is continuing to receive approvals and that recently has known a vast diffusion due to the coupling with newspapers as the " Provincia di Lecco", Como, Sondrio, " Il Giorno" , "L'Eco di Bergamo", Giacomo keeps on talking to us and transmitting his passion for the alpine environment.
