A mountain doctor in Cortina: Tiziano Fracassini.

This book is not a novel, but stories of lived life, which in some ways, romance was. And that of Doctor Fracassini, doctor for many years in Cortina d'Ampezzo and multifaceted character and known for his activities in various cultural and sports sectors. The author calls himself a "mountain doctor" but his memories range beyond the mountain and the profession, making us taste, with his fresh writing and his ironic acumen, a cross-section of the twentieth century, seen from different and original angles. The title "I taught curling to Brigitte Bardot" comes from a story that mentions this event. His most important hobby was painting of which some reproductions are shown here. His reflections on paranormal events and the transmission of thought are also narrated.
