FAR TO THE NORTH in Italy the author found and filmed this country wedding in the lonely Alpine valley of Valtournanche. At right is Mont Blanc, as seen from Italian side of the Alps. Note figure in foreground.
if you cannot make yourself understood verbally, you will be able to get what you want simply by pointing at the pictures.
CLOTHES AND CAMERAS
Don't burden yourself with too many clothes. A simple summer wardrobe is sufficient. But do take a pair of sturdy walking shoes, preferably with rubber soles, for there is plenty of leg work involved in picturing Italian hill towns as well as Swiss villages and country districts. Also bring along a heavy topcoat and some warm gloves; even in the summer months it can be mighty chilly on the Swiss mountain roads.
A few words as to camera equipment. Don't stint yourself on film. In a crowded season, such as this one is bound to be, even the stores in large cities may run low on film stock. And, since you are an amateur, there will be no trouble in passing film through customs. Don't forget plenty of lens tissue, since many of the roads are dusty. Include a sky filter to cut the excess blueness which occurs at altitudes over 5000 feet. Although a normal length lens is satisfactory, both the wide angle and the telephoto are valuable on a trip of this kind.
OFF TO NORTH ITALY
Now let's get going. From Paris go by train or plane to Turin or Milan, to pick up the car. [Continued on page 103]
MORE ITALIAN than Swiss is Locarno, in Ticino canton, as shown by church of Madonna del Sasso, a holy shrine.
THEIR DAILY DRESS dating back for centuries, these peasant women of the wild Val D'Arolla, Switzerland, march to fields.
THE EARLY BIRD, in this case, catches the cows as they amble thru the cobbled streets of Pontresina, a Swiss village of warm color.
