A cavallo della scorsa fine/inizio secolo, e nell’arco di alcuni anni, Guido Daniele si divertiva a fotografare gli alpinisti che di mano in mano incontrava. In seguito stampava le immagini in formato cm 30×40 per dipingerle poi con colori ad olio in tecnica tradizionale. Nel 1999 parte di queste opere sono state esposte a Milano ai Musei di Porta Romana, nella mostra Alpi, Spazi e Memorie.
Questa raccolta di 34 personaggi (disposti in ordine alfabetico) non ha alcuna pretesa di ritrarne una tipologia precisa, semplicemente riflette simpatie e occasioni di conoscenza. L’abbiamo divisa in due parti per darle la dignità che merita.
