In 1955, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Dante Alberti’s family is filmed participating in ice skating activities. The footage shows young people and families on the ice, including a girl wearing the tricolor flag on her chest, performing elegant movements like an experienced skater. Given the year and location— in the Dolomites and on the eve of the VII Winter Olympic Games (Cortina 1956)—it can reasonably be inferred that the scenes take place at the Cortina Olympic Ice Stadium, inaugurated in 1955, a symbol of Italy embracing modern sports. The Cortina d’Ampezzo Olympic Ice Stadium was built for the 1956 Winter Olympics and officially opened on October 26, 1955.
