A very well-known ski-mountaineer from Rome, Maurizio Casalini, used to organize every year a "Calata Barbarica", "descent of the Barbarians": ski-mountaineers from the Alps would join for once the locals in ascending Appenninic tops.
In 2008 the meeting between Barbarians and Romans was planned in Rosciolo, with the intention to climb the Velino from the south side. I did not like the idea to be a Barbarian descending by car, so I left the task to carry my Barbaric skis to others, and in Livorno I embarked to Palermo, from where I would cycle north, in direction Rosciolo... Constant bad weather slowed me down, and actually my tour ended after the snowy adventure on Monte Gelbison.
I never got to know Maurizio in the reality; after his premature death, some of his friends organized a ceremony at his favourite viewpoint, above the fabled Lago della Duchessa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-v-1We8k-M
(Fabled, but known to the majority of those few who know it only because of a famous "fake news" of 1978, announcing that that the corpse of Aldo Moro, assassinated ty terrorists, would be found in this lake)
As for Capri: if you want to take a memorable panorama of it, just climb to the Croce della Conocchia (40.64639/14.49842) from Moiano / Santa Maria del Castello, via a wonderful ridge. If you manage to be there at sunset, you will very probably tell the Augenblick "Verweile doch, du bist so schön!" BUt do not linger too long in conversation with the Augenblick, since the descent takes its good 1:30. However, from that top it is simple and safe - no real need to tackle the higher, but also trickier Sant'Angelo a Tre Pizzi.
@Giuseppe - thanks a lot for showing this. Just found to my delight that Cotento was already labeled in my views from Sirente.
Now somebody has to produce the panorama from Velino.
Some years ago...
Cheers, Hans-Jörg
