In 1956, Sante Montanari filmed the ski jumping competition at the VII Winter Olympic Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo, held on February 5 and won by the Finn Antti Hyvärinen. The footage shows the now-iconic "Trampolino Italia" jump, with the crowd following the parabolic trajectory of the athletes until they land on the outrun. The camera alternates between long shots of the landscape and medium shots following the skiers' flight, also documenting the presence of judges and staff along the track.
