VICTOR DE CESSOLE (1859-1941)
THE CHEVALIER VICTOR SPITALIERI DE CESSOLE, a very distinguished climber, especially between 1894 and 1914, died during the year 1941 at his villa, La Mantega, well known to all mountaineers passing
through Nice. All such received there a most charming welcome. He was aged 82.
He had commenced climbing somewhat late in life, at the age of 33, -but he speedily made up the time lost, while his expeditions in the Chambeyron, to the Aiguilles de Pelens and. the Corno Stella, in fact to all the summits of the Maritimes, are well known to all readers of the Annuaire of the C.A.F. and La Montagne. He was elected an Honorary Member of the Alpine Club in 1918. By the death of Victor de Cessole we lose a most notable and great-hearted mountaineer.
