A summer in Seiano in the pastel colours of an Agfacolor film acquires an ethereal melancholy, a detachment in time that makes the 80 years that make those images seem suspended in eternity. And so those dives into an unusually blue sea, those smiles, those boat rides with, in the distance, Vesuvius in the background, remain crystallised in the collective memory of a distant era never experienced, but familiar and close, like a memory of one's grandparents.
