Carnival in Turin 1954

For carnival Piazza Vittorio Veneto has been transformed into a giant luna park, where adults and children in fancy dresses celebrate the lively recurrence, while Gianduja (a mask of the Italian Commedia dell’Arte) happily greets the crowd. The video is a copy from the film print held by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema: 9,5mm, positive, acetate, 152 m, 21’ at 18 fps, black and white, silent.
