I remember Armando ... one raining morning I was climbing on the wall of Vazzoler with a cigarette in my mouth, he came out of the door and hailed me "ciao Livanos"
the only feature I had in common with Livanos was climbing while smoking or, better, smoking while climbing
Barbier was a great rock climber, I've made and appreciated some ot his routes, little more difficult and fine than Vazzoler wall :)
I was on friendly terms with Claudio whom I met in Chamonix and on the Freyr rocks, his "game" place. His ex girl friend (Anna Lauwaert) with some friends did build a very nice and thorough Web site about Claudio. Have a look: www.claudiobarbier.be/
