On the Livrio Glacier

Author
Rigacci, Tullio
tipologia
8mm - HMRIGATUL-0017
city
Bormio (Sondrio)
Year
1961
Mountains
mountain hut
snow

In 1961, Tullio Rigacci filmed a day on the Stelvio Glacier, near the Monte Livrio Hut, at over 3,100 meters of altitude. The camera captures a woman walking on the compact snow wearing light clothing, with the summer light reflecting on the white plateau and the large peaks of the Ortles-Cevedale group in the background. The images then show a man advancing on the glacier in the same conditions, probably Rigacci himself filmed by the woman. A tracked vehicle crosses the snowy slope carrying some passengers, while the footage also lingers on the imposing Monte Livrio Hut building, filmed during an expansion phase, surrounded by people in activity and a dog moving on the snow. The final sequences offer wide panoramas of the glacier and the surrounding mountains, conveying the immensity of the landscape and the vitality of the first summer tourist seasons on the Stelvio.
