A visual itinerary through the most majestic and ever-changing places of our country: the mountains. Nature, work, mass tourism, and mountaineering intertwine under the lens of amateur cinema, bearing witness to snowy peaks, Alpine and Apennine landscapes, the evolution of ski facilities, and new ways of life at high altitudes. A collective story comes to life from private archives filmed between 1928 and 1987, spanning decades of Italian history: mountain huts, summits, active volcanoes, ski slopes, and valleys become settings for technological innovation, changes in customs, and humanity’s relationship with nature. From private cinema emerges, in an authentic and extraordinary way, the deep bond Italians have with the mountains: a story of traditions, sports, daily life, and shared environmental memory preserved over time.
