I mentioned in my last post that the duke of the Abruzzi also caused a memorial to be made to Felice Ollier, one of the two men lost with Querini.

A friend who often goes to Courmayeur has sent me this photograph of the statue, so I add this to our communal fund of knowledge.  I’m struck by the difference between this monument and the one of Querini.  Here we have a cross, and the dog is center stage — there’s no man at all.  Yet each seems correctly attuned to its setting and culture, if you will.
