A big day in town

Today, we were celebrating 150 years of the mountain guides. A highly respected profession around here, and there was a great turn out in their honour. Music, dancing, medals, alpenhorns, a blessing of the guides' ropes and ice axes. It was quite an event. All the different compagnies de guides had a retro outfit for the occasion. Can you spot the Italian contingent? I know this is not the best photo, but I wanted to capture as much as possible in the one shot!
