MATTEO DELLA BORDELLA
I’m 40 years old and I was born and raised in Varese, Italy. I started climbing when I was 12, exploring the nearby cliffs and classic Alpine routes with my dad. At first, mountaineering didn’t fully grab me, but over time it turned into my greatest passion.
In 2008 I graduated in Management Engineering from LIUC University in Castellanza and completed a PhD by 2012. However, I never distanced myself from the mountains, and eventually decided to fully dedicate my life to alpinism, constantly pushing my limits.
Since 2006 I’ve been part of the Ragni di Lecco (Lecco’s Spiders), a group that helped me grow as both a mountaineer and a person. A few years later, I also joined the Italian Academic Alpine Club (CAAI). These experiences allowed me to travel the world, looking for new climbs on remote and often unclimbed walls.
