In 1955, the De Riso couple visited Fénis Castle, a famous medieval fortress in the Aosta Valley. The camera filmed the exteriors, with the imposing crenelated walls and the polygonal and circular towers, showing Teresa and her husband walking and admiring the structure, providing a human scale to the castle's grandeur. The images continue into the interiors and the courtyard, featuring wooden loggias, ribbed vaults, and mural decorations, alternating between architectural panoramic shots and portraits of the protagonists curiously observing the historical setting. The film concludes by focusing again on details of the towers and embrasures, emphasizing the contrast between the modernity of the visitors and the historical majesty of the castle.
