Description |
Scenes from a trip to Italy. The family visit Lake Como, we see views of the lake and the surrounding area. Two men row a boat around the lake, and there are shots of the larger sightseeing boats. There are restaurants and hotels around the lake which is surrounded by mountains. There are shots of the locals around the lake, women wash their clothes in the water and there are young boys fishing. There are rural scenes in the mountains. Youngs boys look after flocks of sheep and herds of cows, and we see the local people as they go about their work. The children pose for the camera. Their dress and farming techniques appear to be traditional. We also see the local people in their Sunday best on their way to church. |
