A vibrant collection of filmed memories that tells the story of the deep bond between Italians and the mountain landscape. A bond that evolves throughout the twentieth century, as technological innovations and mass tourism begin to open up the peaks to an ever-growing number of people. Once remote and silent, the mountains become shared spaces—places of leisure, adventure, and everyday life. Through more than 500 amateur film clips, this series guides us through a quiet yet radical revolution that reshapes the way people live and perceive high altitudes: equipment, clothing, and techniques all evolve. From hiking to the most demanding climbs, and even official competitions, sport becomes one of the key expressions of this new relationship with the mountains. But the mountain is also something more. It is work in the fields and forests, village festivals, inherited customs, and relationships built over time. It is a place of belonging, memory, and community. Under the gaze of amateur filmmakers, we witness the mountain itself, changing with the seasons, becoming a fragile “sensor” of global ecological transformations. This selection spans the entire Italian peninsula, revealing lesser-known regions—from the Apennine ranges to the island highlands, all the way to active volcanoes—forming a vast collective fresco where memory, nature, and culture are deeply intertwined. A story of belonging and discovery, speaking to the heart of those who have lived and crossed these mountains—and of those who are rediscovering them today.
