The Funicular of Mount Faloria (1950): Cast

Vertigine (Vertigo) is the original title of a roughly four‑minute fragment by Michelangelo Antonioni, extracted from the eight‑minute documentary La funivia del Faloria. The name was changed to the full title to meet the eight‑minute minimum required for a government prize. Filmed in 1949 with cinematographer Bellisario, it was not edited until 1950, after Antonioni’s first feature, Cronaca di un amore.
