The clip, filmed on 14 January 1971, portrays the Ranza family among the banquets of the Feast of Saint Anthony in Varese. In the midst of the winter fair, the cameraman lingers over the ashes of the now almost extinguished bonfire, a symbol of tradition. The mother and three children stroll among the crowded stalls, where typical local products are displayed, such as pesitt, small fish typical of Milanese cuisine, and roast chestnuts. The children enjoy candy floss and convince their mother to buy balloons.
