The wall of Sperlonga (Monte Vannellamare) that saw the birth of sport climbing in central Italy owes its name to the legendary Guido, the "mozzarellaro" manager of the place that has become the reference point of climbers who frequent the walls of Monte Vannellamare and Moneta and the other crags in the area. Since the beginning of the systematic attendance of these walls (early '80s) Guido has welcomed with affection the band of extravagant guys who have paved the way for modern climbing. Guido was also known as The Chiromante di Sant'Agostino, the beach under Monte Vannellammare is in fact known as the plain of Sant'Agostino, and Guido claimed to be able to predict "100%" the sex of a baby before of conception, so it was written on his business card! And many couples turned to him to find out at what time they had to perform the act of conception to have a son or daughter, or even a pair of twins.
Now "Da Guido" is worthily managed by Guido' son Bruno and family who continue the traditional welcome to the climbers.
