In 1970, Don Vitalini documented an excursion to Gavia Pass, at high altitude among the Lombard mountains. The camera captures the alpine landscape with snowy peaks, glaciers, and details of the local flora, including alpine daisies and small pink/purple flowers. The focal point of the footage is the Monument to the 18 Alpini who fell (on September 12, 1976), a stone structure shaped like a truncated pyramid or obelisk, with stepped base, a bronze eagle on the summit, and an artillery shell at the base, along with commemorative plaques. The main subjects are a group of nuns who, after visiting the memorial, consume a picnic on a grassy meadow, with the snowy mountains in the background.
