Photography as a means of expressing Sacred Art .
Historical reenactments are a fascinating world. They allow you to capture in a frame a moment that happened centuries... millennia before. They let you recreate a historical or religious moment or revisit a work of art. I love this photographic genre. A photographic genre in which the shot is certainly only one aspect among the many that must be foreseen and planned. It is a team effort and definitely requires harmony.
Between faith and history was born on a cold winter evening back at the end of 2012.
With friends Vincenzo Ricciarello and Massimo De Clementi, long-time historical reenactors, we came up with the idea for a photographic project on the occasion of the upcoming Natale di Roma.
DCCC ab Urbe Condita, that is, 8 centuries after the founding of Rome, when Emperor Claudius introduced for the first time the celebrations for this event.
Over the years, works have been added mainly focused on the search to interpret sacred art through a photographic medium and accurate historical concordance. Thus were born the Via Crucis - The Way of Suffering, Mt. 9,9-13 (the Calling of Matthew), ADZERO (Anno Domini Zero) and finally AQUA.
Creating an exhibition that would be the synthesis of the path taken over these years was the natural conclusion of this journey.
A way to set a milestone together with all those who made it possible to materialize the ideas over these 10 years.
A way to understand if photography can be an effective means to continue the long Italian tradition of Sacred Art.

We look forward to seeing you.
