'Sestriere — Piste–Pistes–Tracks–Pisten'
A superb winter panorama of Sestriere, the purpose-built Piedmontese ski resort founded by Giovanni Agnelli and here shown at 2,035 metres amid the Italian Alps. Heinrich Berann’s high oblique viewpoint makes the terrain instantly legible, with cableways, a chairlift and fourteen ski lifts keyed below, while numbered pistes are graded by difficulty. The sheet also takes in Pragelato, Sauze di Cesana, Cesana and the surrounding peaks, including Monte Sises and Rognosa. Published in Genoa by Sigla during the post-war expansion of Alpine tourism, it is both a practical period piste map and a highly decorative example of Berann’s celebrated panoramic cartography.
