In 1963, the amateur filmmaker Virgilio Buratti Zanchi captures evocative views of high mountains with snow-capped peaks, brick alpine huts, and wide meadows covered with wild daffodils. The footage shows close-ups of the flowers and blades of grass, as well as a young couple and the filmmaker himself immersed in the landscape, highlighting the beauty of the spring meadows and the charm of the Alpine setting. The daffodil bloom, typical of the Valbelluna area, suggests that the footage was likely shot near Lentiai, a small village known as the “Village of Daffodils,” where mountain meadows are adorned every spring with this spectacular wild flora.
