COMMENTARY
4. This kid was a real show-off.
7,8. Speaking Italian in a quiet ambience. They talk very loud!
9. Minor third of bus horn. Special horns used in Italy by mountain buses to obtain right away on narrow roads.
11. Unlocking of door, footsteps through reverberant church ringing of bells and clanking of mechanism inside, end of ringing, back outside. Good sequence!
