Sunset in Valtrompia (Filippini)
The icon of the "zendali" sciali is also remembered by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in his Journey to Italy (a Grand Tour to acculturate the nobility of the time), but also Giovanni Boccaccio in the Decameron, Carlo Goldoni in the comedy The cunning widow, and Alessandro Manzoni in The Betrothed (Chapter XXXII).
