Nella Svizzera italiana

Production: Tiziano Film, Torino / Pasquali & C., Torino – Lenght: 147 m – Intertitles: Italian –



The film:

A documentary film set on the Italian Switzerland, whose beauties  are showed through “phantom rides” on the Brunate rack railway, sunsets backlit on the Lake Como and shootings of the Bernina railway climbing on the snowy mountains. The use of  the tinting and delicate toning brings out the photography of Piero Marelli, who focuses once again on the glint of light on the water and on the suns’ reflection to emphasize an enchanting landscape. 

 

The film restoration:

The preservation of Nella Svizzera italiana was carried out by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema di Torino, from a tinted nitrate and toned print acquired by the Museum in 1994 with a small collection of landscape documentaries. From the nitrate print, a dupe negative and a positive color print using the Desmet method were printed on safety film.

The process was carried out in 1997 at the Haghefilm  laboratory in Amsterdam.
