In December 1953, the Galeazzi family is in Madonna di Campiglio, a renowned ski resort in the Brenta Dolomites. The footage shows short shots of the tourist office, reflecting the well-established winter tourism of the area in the 1950s. Sequences follow of the cineaste’s children attending ski lessons—both downhill and cross-country—accompanied by a female instructor and other children. Madonna di Campiglio, already appreciated for the quality of its slopes and scenic alpine environment, offered an ideal context for ski learning and winter family holidays.
