Based on footage shot by Luca Comerio and other camera operators, the film bears witness to wartime events taking place in the Adamello mountains during April 1916, relating to the initial phase of the so-called “White War.” Reconstruction and conservative restoration of the first of edition of LA GUERRA D’ITALIA A 3000 METRI SULL’ADAMELLO was funded by the Ministry of Culture - Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape General Directorate. The project was carried out by the University of Udine, in partnership with the Cineteca del Friuli and Archivio Storico Luce - Cinecittà, thanks to materials made available by the Fondazione Cineteca in Bologna, Fondazione Cineteca Italiana in Milan, the Società Storica per la Guerra Bianca in Buccinasco, the Museo della Guerra Bianca in Adamello in Temù, the family of General Antonio Mautone, the Cineteca del Friuli and the Archivio Storico Luce – Cinecittà. The current version shows over 1,645 of the 2,237 metres recorded in the censorship clearance of 30 May 1916 and was guided by the cinema programme of the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, which hosted some of its first screenings and which gives the full list of the 90 intertitles, the total number of shots (276) and the 6-part structure of the first edition.

Screenings
La guerra d'Italia a 3000 metri sull'Adamello is part of this program:
Director
Luca Comerio
Born in Milan in 1878, a lover of drawing and painting, he was hired at a very young age as an assistant in the studio of Belisario Croci, a photographer-painter who was a family friend. This would be the beginning of a long passion for photography and cinematography that would allow him to become the "photographer of the Royal House", a film producer in his Milanese studios, a pioneer of film reportage and documentary between 1908 and the 1920s in Europe and Africa. Among the few operators authorized during the first phases of the Great War, he has handed down some of the most evocative and dramatic images of the First World War.
