We continue where we left off in the last reel, namely just starting to enter Italys fabulous pavilion, and that FOUNTAIN. Again, its huge. We see many shots of it.. from the side, looking out through a window at it, etc. Its also got a statue of Marconi to supplement it. We then see a nice little sculpture work. Then we go the the Brazil pavilion, its quite big. With ponds complete with lilypads, Next we go to the Brazillian site, we see off to the distance where, yes, we can STILL see the Russian sculpture. Actually, theres lots of what weve seen before. Next, off to Australias pavilion…
