In this final set of images from 1957, there are 47 photographs. The series opens with an image of three women. The person in the middle is the privileged one, a relative of the Baroness Cappelleri, and the two people beside her are the "ladies-in-waiting" serving at the palace. Other images of the palace staff can be seen (images 3 and 9), and finally (image 8) there is a group photo that includes the nobles and the workers in their service.
That summer, the family rented an apartment in the Sila mountain range, in a village called Ziia. We enjoyed the fresh air and the friendship of the village people (image 13 to 23), and the children shared and played together (image 31). There was also a trip to the Monastery of San Bruno (image 32). The town of Siderno was well known in the area for its elaborate festive lighting during religious celebrations. In some photos (images 35 and 36), we see a group of friends from Roccella participating in one of these events.
We also see photos of a family of friends (Marrapodi) and the various acrobatic stunts their child was subjected to (image 38 to 46). And finally, a group of people, including Don Mico Bova, a local political figure, with the backdrop of Carafa Castle (image 47).
