Valaperti documents a religious procession in Montepiano, in a rural and hilly context. The clip opens with a group of children dressed in white walking orderly on a meadow, accompanied by an adult. In the background, green hills, cultivated fields, and a rural building are visible. This is followed by scenes of the procession itself: priests and altar boys advance with banners and religious symbols, followed by women in dark clothes and head coverings. Some children hold Italian flags, while nuns and young women in white tunics complete the procession. As readable on the banner, the group is part of the Third Franciscan Order, a group of lay people who follow the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi.
