In these photographs, the land of Sicily becomes the stage, the theatre and the soul of its people, of its oldest and most external rites, more true and more intimate. It is the story of a fire that is still kindled and reflected intact in adoration, suffering, resignation, rebellion and euphoria. Sounds, cries, expectations, processions, supplications, revelations, disguises, disguises, mixed with the frenzy of a mystical and ecstatic choir, are unicum indivisible but perfectly legible, in the intimacy of the night, as in the agitation of the hoods, in the rhythm of the steps as in the silence of prayer. Religion, coloured or faithfully Christian paganism, or even worn out and contaminated by popular enigmas, becomes the expression of self-recognition and liberating participation, the chrism of a sinuous and choreographic, repetitive and deafening event, but never the same as oneself.
