Vatican City in 1962, captured on vintage 8mm film, shows a bustling scene at a grand stone staircase. A uniformed guard stands at attention near a decorative pillar as tourists in period attire, including a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, ascend and descend the steps. The footage includes a brief, blurry shot of a horse-drawn carriage passing a classic car on a tree-lined street, all rendered in the distinct purple and blue color shifts characteristic of aged Super 8 film. The handheld camera movement and film grain evoke a nostalgic, personal home movie feel.
