Marino de Lusy (1880-1954)
Marino de Lusy was born December 28, 1880, at Trieste, the son of ' Greek parents.
Residing in Trieste as well as in Paris and Montreux (he became a Swiss citizen in 1921), he almost dedicated his life to art and mountains. Well known also were his talents for piano playing and specially for etchings, which he often exhibited in Paris.
His mountaineering took place from 1898 till 1936. In those years he did about 340 courses and touched all the main climbing regions: Dolomites, Engadine, Dauphine, Tarentaise, Mont Blanc, Valais and Oberland. His favourite places were Chamonix and Zermatt, where he spent more than thirty summers. M. L. used to climb with guides, and amongst them were some of the most famous of those days: Sepp Innerkofler, Antonio Dimai, Bartolo Barbaria, Gabriel Zumtaugwald, Joseph and Felix Biner, Adolf and Alfred Aufdenblatten and Armand Couttet. Though not making any extraordinary climbs, he reached nearly all the standard peaks by the usual routes. But he made the first ascent of the Torre Lusy (August 1, 1913) and the first ascent by the South face of the. Cima d 'Ambrizzola (September 11, 1913). On June 16, 1926, he made the first ascent of the West face of the Weissmies and five days later a new variant of the North ridge of Pollux was done.
M. L. was elected to the Alpine Club in 1935, his proposer and seconder being Sydney Spencer and E. R. Blanchet.
In 1936, whilst climbing around Zermatt with Felix Biner, he had to abandon climbs several times because of heart trouble, and from then onwards he only did walks.
Being an able and artistic photographer he had an important collection of pictures, which he presented to the Alpine Club.
M. L. died February 1, 1954, at Montreux from cardiac trouble. A bachelor, Marino Lusy left his important property to the poor of his native town of Trieste.
