The 1941 film portrays Giuseppe Bacigalupo and his wife Frieda, together with a group of friends, during a trip to Verezzi. Set on a panoramic terrace-garden, with the sea in the background, the sequence documents the convivial moment of an outdoor lunch. The group begins with an appetiser of artichokes seasoned with oil, accompanied by a toast with white wine. Next, a generous plate of spaghetti is served as the main course.
