In 1956, the Buratti Zanchi family spends their holidays near Lake Resia, capturing beautiful footage of the surrounding meadows and views of the village of Curon Venosta. Young women run and pose in the fields with the village in the background, while the film ends with a striking shot of the famous bell tower rising from the lake’s waters. This unique symbol of the Alps recalls the dramatic history of the area: just a few years earlier, between 1949 and 1950, the construction of a dam submerged the old village of Curon, leaving only the Romanesque bell tower of the Church of Santa Caterina visible.
