Italy Rome, Mount Vesuvius 1929

Panning shot over the city of Rome. Street level, a woman walks down steps. A tram drives through street where cars, bikes and people come and go. St Peter’s Square, camera pans across buildings to stop on people going about their daily lives. A car drives under an archway whilst horses and carts take up most of the street space. People gather listening to a guide. Inside the Colosseum only a handful of people are visiting. Cyclists ride down the quiet streets. At Santa Lucia, we see Vesuvius in the background smoking. A mountain train takes visitors up and down the mountain. Sailors mingle with tourists at the top of Vesuvius. At sea level tourists mingle with naval officers. Train station, a train pulls into a crowded platform. At Bellagio the boat ferry Plinio (3) takes people across Lake Como. Shots of the Grand Hotel Volta and other hotels such as the Grand Hotel Bellagio. The Plinio docks again and disembarks the sightseers.
