D. Emy kept a relic. She had in her hands a photo album of the Monte Veritá Community, where people sought to change the behavioral habits of the time, such as a return to contact with Nature, sunbathing, natural medicine practices, yoga, light and colorful clothes, vegetarianism, etc. Practices that were experienced again in the ’60s, with the hippie movement. Original photos, a memory of the time when she lived there at the age of 3 together with her parents. 

In some photos, we observe details of the environment; moments of deconcentration of residents; photos of various artists, anarchists, and others, and even photos of Isadora Duncan dancing outdoors.

Unfortunately, we cannot identify people who were there in the photos. In addition to the dancer Isadora Duncan, the writer Hermann Hess, Rudolf Steiner, Carl Gustav Jung and other exponents of the European cultural team of the time were there too.
