Mario Fantin died in Bologna towards the end of last year in his 61 st year. He was one of the Club's distinguished Italian members and, in proposing him for membership in 1963, Aldo Bonacossa emphasised how great a debt the CAI owed him through his remarkable activity in organizing expeditions and documenting the results of his researches. The Alpine Club, too, has to thank Mario Fantin for the many Italian books which he presented to the library. His Alpine climbs, starting in 1947, cover most of the major peaks from W to E, including a grand 23-day traverse in 1956 with 22 bivouacs. Elsewhere he climbed in the Karakoram, Peruvian Andes, Kilimanjaro and the Ruwenzori, and in Greenland, as well as producing numerous books, articles in magazines and films.
