Find a place where you live where history made its mark. Allow yourself to breathe, feel, contemplate and react with a photograph – Laura El-Tantawy

 

 

The first Saturday of May each year there is a procession of the patron saint of Naples, San Gennaro. (The earliest are dated at the end of quartodicesimo century.) In this religious festival and pagan at the same time are carried on the shoulders for a long journey between two wings of crowd busts of twenty statues of saints who parade in honor of San Gennaro , which was cheered loudly by the people. In these photos I wanted to show the work of these men devotees of the saint who clean and arrange the statues for the procession.
