Angelo Dibona

[7] In the course of his life he climbed Italian, Austrian, German, French, Swiss, British and Slovenian mountains.

The Belgian King Albert I and the two baronesses Ilona und Rolanda von Eötvös, for example, were also among his customers.

[13] In the First World War he fought as a Kaiserjäger on the Austro-Hungarian side together with Luis Trenker and was awarded two medals of bravery and the "Iron Merit Cross with Crown" (Eiserne Verdienstkreuz mit der Krone).

Other well-known mountaineers such as Sepp Innerkofler, Gustav Jahn and Rudl Eller were his comrades on the Dolomite front.

[19] In the controversy between Paul Preuss and Hans Dülfer about the use of pitons when climbing from before the 1st World War, Dibona spoke out in favor of safety.

When Luis Trenker asked how many pitons he had hit in total, Dibona replied: "Fifteen, six of them on the Laliderer north face, three on the Ödstein, two on the Croz dell 'Altissimo, one on the Einser and the rest on other difficult climbs."

[29] In 2013 a large mandala in honor of Angelo Dibona was made in memory in Cortina by an artist with locals and children.
