In October 1959, the Galeazzi family is in Bolognola, a small Italian town with about 150 inhabitants in the Macerata province, Marche. Although the smallest city by population in Italy, it is in the heart of the Sibillini Mountains, central Apennines, peaking at Monte Vettore (2,476 m). The landscape alternates beech forests, pastures, and limestone cliffs, historically tied to the Sibilla legend and mountain community life. Footage shows Paola and Giovanni with their mother Anna Maria Emiliani walking along mountain trails: Paola performs somersaults, children play and chase each other, while a stone fountain serves as a watering place for livestock, next to small bivouacs and shelters at high altitude. The video closes with a family postcard: the Galeazzis posing with grazing cows, a typical element of Sibillini pastoral landscapes.
