7 October 1929 is a Monday, on this date the Gazzetta dello Sport reports on the first day of the first national single-round football championship. In Naples, however, there was nothing to celebrate because of the news of the defeat against Juventus the day before and Mario Cessi embarked for Ischia and Procida, giving us a splendid and very detailed filmed account of the journey, thanks to his faithful 9.5 mm camera. Starting with the opening sequence in which he films 'submarines and torpedo boats anchored in port', and continuing with evocative, postcard-like shots of the two jewels of the gulf, the islands of Ischia and Procida, which we see interspersed with titles and captions in the two short films that make up this film. The weather is fine and the sea air is good for you. Good outing to all!
