This is a film that was possibly made by the son of Frank Charman, a member of the Yorkshire District Association of The Camping Club of Great Britain and Ireland.  The film shows a Camping Club tour of Italy, visiting many of the popular sights. Intertitle – Napoli Centrale Cars pass by in a large street. Intertitle – Palermo They come into the harbour by boat, the Irrenia, with people waiting on the quayside. Goods are unloaded from the ship, some onto horse and carts or small three wheeled vehicles. A policeman walks past.  There is a busy city centre street, and then a calm bay where several rowing boats are moored.  People are queuing at one of the many fish stalls.  An elderly lady sits outside one of the stalls, while a fisherman sits in the shade repairing a fishing net.  The film switches to a campsite in the city, shaded by trees.  Then to a beach where a small boy plays beach ball with other children and a woman in a pink bikini. Holidaymakers relax on the beach. Intertitle – Mondello – birth of a pizza A cook at a beach pizzeria demonstrates making some pizzas. Intertitle – Erica There is a view down onto the bay, and then a man is seen sat in a street and then walking up a steep cobbled alleyway.  A group of people look down onto the clear sea. Intertitle – Agrigento A party of people unload their luggage from the top of a red and white camper van at a campsite.  A woman sits overlooking the city.  A car is being dressed for a wedding.  The newlyweds arrive among a large group of people.  Locals wander around the streets and alleyways.  A boy attaches a basket to a rope which is pulled up by an elderly woman to her apartment.  A girl feeds pigeons in a café.  A three wheeled vehicle passes (an Isetta), and then they are down by the sea.  There is a sign for Siracusa and then a harbour where they set off on a small boat.  There is an ancient amphitheatre.  On a railway platform people drink from a water fountain and a man bathes his feet.  They board a train and are waved off by a station master.  At a level crossing a steam train passes by. Intertitle – Catania A woman moves a deckchair outside of her tent, sheltered under a tree.  Then holidaymakers lie on a beach and swim in the sea.  They wander around an outdoor market.  Boats are moored in a quiet harbour. Children dive into the sea, others sunbathe on rocks.  They drive to a volcano and go up a mountain lift and walk back part way down before descending on the lift. They visit another small seaside resort and the large ruined amphitheatre at Taormina before touring the town.  A group of men sit in the shade chatting and other locals mingle in the streets.  Some tents are pitched overlooking the sea, where some women go swimming.  The camping group pose for the camera in the sun.  They move off on a railway coach travelling on a ferry.  They are then sat in a café in a busy city centre near a large open space surrounding by ancient buildings.  They continue on a boat trip, with a woman filming upwards at the flag flying and the film comes to an end.
