Sgarbi traverses art history to show how the mountain has been depicted from Giotto to the present, with works by Mantegna, Leonardo, Dürer, Titian and Friedrich, alongside lesser-known artists such as Ubaldo Oppi or Dino Buzzati; the journey also includes photography and graphic design, and the spirituality of the highlands.

For readers interested in art history, landscape painting and the image of the mountain in culture.
