In 1893, Pedro became the recipient of the “Gran Cruz de la Noble y Distinguida Orden de Isabel la Catolica,” a prestigious and coveted Spanish award. No Filipino expatriate in Madrid lived as luxuriously as Don Pedro Paterno, with the exception of the visiting industrialists Don Pedro Pablo Roxas and Don Gonzalo Tuason. He even married an aristocratic Spanish lady, Doña Luisa Pineyro y Merino. His social life revolved around the Madrid aristocracy his good friends were Spanish nobility and officials. In 1880, he became a Doctor of Civil and Canon Law at the Universidad Central de Madrid (now Universidad Complutense). Pedro earned his degrees in Theology and Philosophy with honors at the Universidad de Salamanca. Fellow Filipino expatriates christened his palatialĬrib in half–jest as “La Casa de Molo”-which was truth because the source of the high rental payments was the ambitious Capitan Maximino Paterno in Manila, who, wishing to maintain if not further his family’s august social rank, fully supported his son Pedro’s Madrid adventure in the grandest possible manner.įelix Roxas y Fernandez, an engineering student from one of the DBF clans, described Paterno’s life in Madrid as “quite simply, above the throng” with all the trappings of aristocracy: a regal home, household staff, a complete aristocratic gentleman’s wardrobe, elegant soirees, important guests, a black carriage with the family crest in silver and the coachman and footmen in livery, etc. Once in Madrid as a 14 year–old, and unlike other Filipino students who lived in downscale dormitories in modest neighborhoods (among them Jose Rizal), Pedro thought it fit to rent an entire wing of the Palacio of the Duque de Salamanca in the city’s most exclusive section. Attributed to Esteban Villanueva y Vinarao Living it up in Madrid Innerkofler's body was put to rest on the summit of Paternkofel / Monte Paterno and was taken in Sexten only after the war.Lot 24. Not only Austrians, but also Italian soldiers (many of them were local climbers) were horrified, realizing who was shot. He was spotted by Italian soldiers and shot.
Early in the morning, a patrouille, led by Sepp tried the summit ascent through a chimney. A group of 40 carefully chosen soldiers was approaching the summit from the north. The most prominent victim of Paternkofel was the famous mountain guide and climber from Sexten, the legendary Sepp Innerkofler (1865-1915), who lost his life during a summer attack on Italian summit positions. You need only a little imagination to see soldiers fighting on these rock needles - no pause allowed, for many years, in summer and winter. As all three routes follow military routes, many relics from that time can be even now seen: caves, tunnels, guns nests. Paternkofel saw its most sad and also brave days during World War I. There are a couple of nice lakes ( Boedenseen / Laghi dei Piani), allways mirroring the walls and the summit of Paternkofel / M. Just before the summit there's the famous Gamsscharte / Forcella di Camoscio.īetween the N-NW ridge and the E ridge a steep wall is falling some 250 m down on the plateau called Boedenalpe / Alpe dei Piani. The ridge first rises with a group of towers, called Boedenknotten / Crode dei Piani and then after Forcella dei Laghi continues sharply towards the top. Longer is the E ridge, which starts on Buellelejoch / Forcella Pian di Cengia, 2522 m. The N-NW ridge goes from the saddle just on top. Paterno group starts on the saddle, called Toblinger Riedl / Forcella di Toblin, 2405 m. The N-NW ridge was first ascended in 1986 by guides S. Kuenigl, they reached the summit over Gamsscharte. The first ascent was done on September 11 th, 1882 by Franz Innerkofler and E. Lavaredo, 2344 m and Drei-Zinnen-Huette, 2405 m), In order not to repeat information, please see all relevant information on the Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime di Lavaredo page. In Paternkofel's walls there's probably not many harder climbing routes. It is for hikers with good experience in rock so they can overcome steep sections, secured by pegs and steel ropes. The mountain is popular because of its famous view on Drei Zinnen and because of its short ascent. It has 3 strong ridges (N, S, E) and over all of them three nice and popular ferratas go. The mountain rises only a few hundred meters from the high plateau, but is beautifully shaped.
Paternkofel rises north-east of Tre Cime di Lavaredo / Drei Zinnen and belongs to a broader group of Sexten Dolomites. Paternkofel Gets IntroducedĪll right, all eyes are turned to Tre Cime / Drei Zinnen, but should because of that Monte Paterno / Paternkofel be neglected? It's a beautiful mountain, having also a rich history - not so much a climbing one but a more sad one - from the World War I. > Aug 3rd, 2005: Summit Shots chapter added.
