In 1956, Giuseppe Lenzi filmed a high-altitude scene in Tonadico di Primiero, at the foot of the Fradusta Glacier in the Pale di San Martino. Stones are seen being thrown into a small pool of water formed by the melting glacier, with snow-capped peaks in the background. The filmmaker’s friends—two men and a woman—hold hands and walk toward the camera along a hiking path among rocks and snow. At the time, the Fradusta Glacier was still visible as an active ice mass. Today, however, it has undergone dramatic retreat, shrinking by over 95% since the late 19th century. Its surface is now fragmented and largely devoid of the original glacial dynamics.
