On April 11, 1981, Ermanno Acanfora documents the blessing of the large metal cross on Monte Sant’Angelo, on the Picco Sant’Angelo of the Sorrento Peninsula. In this excerpt, the amateur filmmaker explains in voice-over who took part in the restoration and the reason for the intervention, which was necessary after the damage caused by the November 1980 earthquake. The footage shows citizens and worshippers gathered on the mountain for Mass and the Via Crucis, highlighting the community’s enthusiastic participation in a shared moment of devotion and collective memory.
