In 1957, Giuseppe Lenzi filmed a hike to Lake Carezza in Val d’Ega, Trentino-Alto Adige. The clip shows a man cooling off on the lakeshore, while his friend leans on him. Some shots show him observing the landscape through binoculars. The camera also captures the reflections of the surrounding mountains on the lake’s surface, highlighting the characteristic emerald green color of the water, typical of Lake Carezza. Behind the protagonists, the peaks of the Latemar and Catinaccio are mirrored in the lake, creating a particularly striking landscape. Lake Carezza, called by the Ladin people “Lech de l’ercaboan” or “Rainbow Lake,” owes its bright colors to the legend of a nymph and a sorcerer.
