Symbola

This reportage speaks about the sacredness. In this time no one of the great events and even that tradition. Tell us about a way of experiencing the sacred in slowly decline, marked the indispensable mediation of objects, images, gestures of the body through which umanity try to grasp, represent, retain infinitely more. Tell us about the sacredness preserved in the attics of parishes, under the sheets waiting for a restoration too expensive, memories of a time when the secret prayers were entrusted to the ability of a candle brought to fatigue on the shoulders, where the faces of the saints wanted to look like to those of the men and women who handed in their sighs every days, even at the risk of show this human suffering that far from being a matter of shame, was also sanctified in his divine dignity.
