In August 1952, the Simeoni family took a trip to Colle di Nava, a pass in the Ligurian Alps that connects the Arroscia Valley in Liguria with the Tanaro Valley in Piedmont. At an altitude of 934 meters, the pass offers a landscape of meadows and gentle hills. Two little girls play on the grassy slope, sliding on a wooden board with the help of two women.
