Beautiful Giovanni! I definitely would have been concerned about Velvia for a scene like that - ND Grads would be key!
I just wanted to add that I am in complete agreement about white texture. About +1 2/3 stops (at ASA50) is as high as I would expose and hope to retain any texture, with it being pretty well pure white at +2.
Frustratingly, I can usually see detail below -2 stops but scanning it gets very difficult, so i don't count on using it.
