-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-
The Capanna Regina Margherita on Punta Gnifetti, at 4.554 meters, 14,941 ft, on Monte Rosa, has a uniquely Italian history. It is not only the highest refuge in Europe, but also a place rich in anecdotes.
Built by the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) in 1889 to provide shelter for mountaineers and facilitate scientific studies, it was prefabricated in the valley and transported to the summit by mule and shoulder. The original construction cost exactly 17,094 lire and 55 cents.
The inauguration took place on August 18, 1893, in the presence of Queen Margherita of Savoy, a great mountain enthusiast, who spent the night there with her entourage after a climb on foot.
Since its inception, the hut has been an international laboratory. In 1903, it was declared an "International Institute" for scientific utility. In addition to hosting mountaineers, it is a research center of excellence for the study of human physiology in hypoxic conditions, and for meteorological monitoring, climate change, and glaciology.
With 70 beds, a bar-restaurant, a high-altitude library, and Wi-Fi, it is managed by the Polytechnic University of Turin and is famous among hikers for serving what is called the "highest pizza in Europe," cooked directly in the hut's ovens.
The current structure is a modern reconstruction from 1980, which replaced the original wooden hut.

Blackout poetry is the art of subtraction.
Instead of facing a blank page, the poet begins with a wall of existing text — a newspaper, a book page, a discarded fragment of language. By redacting words with ink, something quieter emerges. A hidden message. A new voice uncovered from the noise.
Part meditation, part visual art, blackout poetry sits beautifully between literature and image-making. The remaining words become an anchor — spare, deliberate, and often emotionally charged — surrounded by silence.
The creator of the poem shown here is unknown.
