... in a later scene, water is flowing copiously on the back of a large Ghiaccio transparent backdrop.
The Ghiaccio transparent backdrop, which measures 20 x h 10.43 m, was created, according to the indications of the set designer Italo Grassi and of the Scenographic workshop of the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, with a finish along the bottom side that allows to collect and channel the water.
The QGH - Ghiaccio film was scenographed on the back to accentuate the effect of the flowing water.
