The little tourist is in Piazza Maggiore, in the background the hustle and bustle of the city, while she is busy feeding the pigeons. After finding a guidebook and a map in her suitcase, the little girl looks around, buys a coloured balloon from a vendor. She disappears and reappears. We find her again not far away, under the two towers, her eyes turned upwards.

The film, shot on 18 April 1957 by positioning the camera at the height of the little girl, is an attempt to map urban space and at the same time the enchanted world of a little girl with a red coat, a suitcase and a coloured balloon: impossible not to love it.
