At Rifugio Mucrone, Pippo Barzizza films a brief self-portrait with his wife Tatina Salesi, posing on the snow. The camera then lingers on the panoramic view before focusing on the building’s sign reading “Rifugio Mucrone – Club Alpino Italiano, Sezione di Biella.” On the refuge’s terrace, a group of men wearing Alpine hats is filmed playing cards around a table.
