In 1973, Pietro Rossano documented a family day at Madonna del Monte, in the municipality of Acquaformosa. The sequence opens with an outdoor picnic: five people—including a blonde child in overalls and a young woman in a light patterned dress—are seated on the grass next to a rustic building, with a car parked in the background. The camera then moves to capture the surrounding mountainous and hilly landscape. Mountains and hills stretch across the horizon, initially framed in a static shot and later with a slow pan to the right, revealing forests and meadows.
