Scanner
Wagons that normally transport coal from the sea into the hills leave the port of Savona every day. The area was mapped by attaching a camera to one of the wagons, thus creating a 35 km cross-section of the cableway layout. The end result is presented as a video shot from the bottom to the top, turning the filming viewpoint upside-down. In this way, the scanner-ableway provides the spectator with the opportunity to view a completely unexplored countryside.
