"n July 2025, however, the search for Ivaldo's body resumed after the snow had largely melted from steep mountain gullies, or couloirs.

But this time the Piemonte rescue service brought in some additional help – artificial intelligence. They employed AI software capable of analysing thousands of photos taken by drones that could fly close to the rock walls and up the many gullies that streak the mountain flanks. It took just five hours for the two drones to capture the images and they were analysed the same day to identify spots where rescue teams could focus their search."
