Description
This film shows highlights of a couple travelling through the Swiss Alps in a convertible towards Italy. The couple visit a lake with a quay and the Middle Bridge (Mittlere Brucke) in Basel over the River Rhine. They film the mountain range and a hotel surrounded by a snowy landscape. A couple throw snowballs towards the camera from their car (IY 9577 registered in the Provence of Posen/Poznań, Prussia now Poland). The couple visit a hotel 'MalojaKulm' at St Moritz, wander around the grounds and sit in the restaurant. Fleeting shots show Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi at Lecco and the Giuseppe Garibaldi monument in front of the Teatro della Società.
The couple continue their tour of Italy, visiting the Fountain of Neptune (Fontana di Nettuno) in Bologna, filming the views from their car. Shots of the Piazzas Nettuno and Maggiore follow. The couple tour through the rural landscape to Florence, visiting the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (Basilica of Saint Mary of the Flower) in the Piazza Il Duomo di Firenze.
