Count Ugo di Vallepiana 1890-1978)
Count Ugo di Vallepiana was born in Florence in 1890 and studied first in Milan and then in Munich where he met the outstanding Bavarian climbers of the day. His subsequent alpine career was both brilliant and sustained and summarized in his application of 1930 to join the
Alpine Club as "most of the chief summits of the Alps, both in summer and winter". He omitted to mention his several first ascents of outstanding alpine routes. (Col Strutt endorsed his application form 'This candidate has done all the 4,000 m peaks'.) He had published 4 books - a manual of skiing, Le Dolomiti di Cortina d'Ampeno, and 2 guide-books. An officer in the Alpini with a particularly distinguished record in the First World War, his loyalty to his country compelled him to resign his membership of the Club in 1940, but his Jewish ancestry led him to seek refuge in Switzerland in 1943 and in 1949 he applied for re-election to membership of the Club, giving a list of over 90 different Alpine ascents, all guideless, 'since my first election to the Club in 1930'. He had a life-long respect and affection for British climbers and held his membership of
the Alpine Club in high regard. When, some years ago, a dispute arose between certain of the European clubs concerning reciprocal rights in their respective alpine huts he initiated a unique and unilateral offer of privileges in huts of the CAI to the members of the Alpine Club
so that they should not suffer from the dispute-privileges which we still enjoy. For many years he was the outspoken and effective delegate of the CAI to the UlAA, bringing a rare and welcome commonsense to bear on the deliberations of its Executive and Annual Assemblies.
