Lumière: Danse des Ciociari (1896

Danse des Ciociari (Dance of the Ciociari), erroneously referred to in the original title as Dense des Ciocciari, is the 289th film of the Lumière Catalogue.
This scene, which shows some Ciociari couples dancing a saltarello on the steps of Trinità dei Monti in Rome, in Piazza di Spagna, was shot on March 22, 1896 by an operator unknown to us.
The music you listen to is not original, it is a song recorded during the Gonfalone di Arpino, a typical Ciociaro jump like the one that these ancestors of ours were probably dancing.
