Some people think that pigeons are not very attractive animals. Yet for a long time, before eliminating them from the urban fabric because of the damage and dirt they cause, pigeons were fed in Italian parks and squares by posing for a photograph or film camera shot. Like on Saturday 29 October 1927, when Guglielmo Baldassini portrays in 9.5mm his son Luciano playing with pigeons in Milan's Parco Sempione, then we see him with his friends Giulio and Sandro having fun with a wheelbarrow. Information deduced from the inscriptions on the film box.
