"Prima edizione". “Giotto Dainelli (1878-1968), esploratore, geologo, paleontologo e geografo di altissimo livello, dalla personalità vivacissima.. Nel 1913-14 partecipò alla spedizione De Filippi al Karakorum, la più importante missione esplorativa italiana in Asia del nostro secolo. Essa si proponeva un duplice scopo: esplorare il grande ghiacciaio Rimu, nel Karakorum orientale, e raccogliere il maggior numero possibile di informazioni geofisiche, geologiche, metereologiche e, in via subordinata, anche naturalistiche, su quella regione. Entrambi gli scopi furono brillantemente raggiunti. Al D. fu lasciata libertà di movimento: con l'amico Marinelli, che l'aveva raggiunto, poté compiere escursioni al di fuori dell'itinerario principale della spedizione, esplorando un'area assai più ampia e giungendo, sulla via del ritorno, fino al Tien Shan”.
