Ulzio, 1942. A group of young men, possibly Alpini, move across the snow-covered slopes in a playful manner: performing ski jumps, descents interspersed with spins, and acrobatics that balance technical skill and carefree fun. The camera captures their energy, hinting at the tension between the seriousness of training and genuine enjoyment. The mountain setting, the whiteness of the snow, and the uniformity of their attire maintain the military context, yet the participants’ behavior suggests a moment of joy and freedom amid a historical period marked by war.
