"Mountains of Milano is very personal to me. It begins with my great-grandfather, Vitale Bramani — a passionate mountaineer who not only explored the Alps but ultimately helped transform the outdoor industry. His legacy is rooted in both the mountains and the city of Milan, and that connection has shaped my own life as well," said Matteo Bramani, Vitale Bramani's great grandson.

"Growing up, the Alps always felt within reach — a constant presence that grounded me and inspired a deep sense of belonging. Energia Vitale reflects that relationship between city and summit, heritage and innovation. It also represents what Vibram has stood for since 1937: serving as a bridge between urban and outdoor worlds, and carrying forward values that remain relevant and forward-looking today."

As part of the broader Mountains of Milano cultural program, the film reflects Vibram's role as a bridge between urban and alpine worlds – between heritage and innovation, culture and performance.
