Vision in the suburbs of Milan, at the end of the 1950s. Italy gets, even and mostly on the city walls, a modern visual identity: sport (the Agnano lottery), industrial (the Ecco soluble coffee), politic (Achille Lauro's and Giuseppe Saragat's names and conferences). The tremors in the image, which produces that quick and continuous vertical swinging, is due to a bad film loading in the camera: since the "loop" wasn't formed - a segment of film where it is not strained - the film is in a constant tension state, and it is impossibile for it to be still in front of the gate.
