The Best Attractions In San Maurizio d'Opaglio

[4K - *CINE*] - LAKE “ORTA” - CANON EOS M + MAGIC LANTERN - DAVINCI RESOLVE 16 - GRADED

A full afternoon, till early evening, visit to the small town called “Orta San Giulio” (Orta Saint Jules), located on the shores of the homonymous lake (Orta Lake). “Orta San Giulio” is a town and comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of Turin and about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Novara.

View of the town
The town itself is built on a promontory which juts out from the eastern bank of Lake Orta close to Isola San Giulio, an island which also falls within the municipal boundaries. The frazione Legro stands on the hill which rises behind the promontory, Corconio is some 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) further south, and again away from the lake, while Imola consists of a small number of dwellings between the two, but close to the lake on the road leading to Gozzano. The municipality borders on Pettenasco to the north, Miasino and Ameno to the east, Bolzano Novarese and Gozzano to the south, and San Maurizio d'Opaglio and Pella to the west across the lake.
It is well known for the nearby Sacro Monte, which is a site of pilgrimage and worship and, like the town itself and the island, is a popular destination for fairly small-scale tourism. In 2003, the Sacro Monte of Orta was inserted by UNESCO in the World Heritage List.
In May 1882, Friedrich Nietzsche and Lou Andreas-Salomé, accompanied by her mother and a mutual friend, visited Orta for a few days on their way back from a Grand Tour of Italy. The couple visited the Sacro Monte for some hours and Nietsche fell in love with the charming Russian. Salomé could not afterwards remember if she had kissed the philosopher and she was not in love with him, a fact which caused him much anguish. Orta San Giulio can easily be spot from the top of mount “Mottarone”, facing “Lake Maggiore” and just behind the municipality of “Stresa” (in the province of Verbania).

During the day we had the opportunity to take the boat that would take us to the close Isola San Giulio (St Jules Isle, hence the name of the town), located just in front of the town, and visit it. Great chance to enjoy a pleasant boat trip around the lake.

Clips have been shot (both inland and on the close isle “San Giulio”), entirely manual, with the CANON EOS M with Magic Lantern installed, with the MCM rewire shooting mode set at 1736x976 and with a CineStyle log profile. All clips have been retouched for color/exposure/sharpness etc in MLVApp prior to exporting/converting the RAW clips, and then color graded in DaVinci Resolve 16 (beta 3). Original clips have been exported in Apple ProRes 4444 format, with Alexa Log-C profile, and then imported in DaVinci for editing, cuts, stabilization, music and color grading (LUT, DaVinci Resolve FG_CineVibrant). The video also contains a few clips/stills shot with the CANON EOS M100. Audio (ambient sound) has been captured through a Rode VideoMic Go mic. Video edited and rendered in 4K UHD 3840x2160 in cinematic format, 24fps. Video filesize: 4.85GB, average bit rate: 70Mb/s.

[4K - *CINE*] - LAKE “ORTA” - CANON EOS M100 - DAVINCI RESOLVE 16 - 147 Mbps

This video is a natural complement of my previous one (link: shot in the same location (Lake Orta), same day, and only has clips shot with the CANON EOS M100 mirror-less camera (FHD @60fps), whereas the previous one was made out of clips shot with the EOS M + ML (but included a few clips and stills shot with the M100 as well).

DESCRIPTION of this video (as well as of the previous one)
A full afternoon, till early evening, visit to the small town called “Orta San Giulio” (Orta Saint Jules), located on the shores of the homonymous lake (Orta Lake). “Orta San Giulio” is a town and comune (municipality) in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) northeast of Turin and about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Novara.
