Luca Sinigaglia is the Italian mountaineer who died on the Pik Pobeda in Kyrgyzstan in an attempt to bring the Russian colleague Natalia Nagovitsyna to the attempt to rescue by 47 years blocked from 12 August to 7,000 meters on the mountain with a fractured leg. The name of Sinigaglia, a great enthusiast of Kyrgyzstan, is learned from the world of Italian mountaineering and is reported by many Russian media.
According to the information that arrives from the Pik Pubeda base camp, Natalia Nagovitsyna has been injured along the descent from the top of one of the iconic mountains of that geographical area but also of the Soviet Union. Together with her there were the companions of Cordata, the Russian Roman Mokinsky, the German Gunter Siegmund and Sinigaglia who lent first aid leaving the tent and a sleeping bag.
Subsequently, on August 13, Siegmund and Sinigaglia had reached Natalia bringing water, food and gas. Subsequently, on day 15, in a second attempt to bring help, the Italian mountaineer, a friend of Nagovitsyna since 2021, died following cerebral edema and his body is still in a cave at 6,800 meters. Sigmund was subsequently hospitalized. Tomorrow with the help of a private helicopter, weather conditions permitting, with three Italian rescuers on board they will try to bring Nagovitsyna to rescue and, if possible, recover the Sinigaglia body.
