Costantino Sabelli films the historic train station of San Vito di Cadore, inaugurated in 1921 as part of the Dolomites Railway, at 992 meters above sea level. In the footage, the grandmother is seen getting off the train, while the camera alternates shots of the surrounding mountains, including Monte Pelmo, known as el Caregón de ‘l Padreterno (“the Throne of the Eternal Father”), with its 3,168-meter altitude, vertical walls, and imposing peaks, highlighting the grandeur of the alpine landscape.
