Texts
Text by Antonio Bevacqua; photographs by Alessandro Mallamaci
Profile of a man in darkness, a single light behind his head
Boy holding a drum in a street procession, other drummers around him
Man playing a large drum at night, festival lights on the building behind
Drummers seen from above in a narrow street
Man with a beard blowing into a bagpipe
Priests in vestments leading a procession, drummers following
Elderly woman standing in a doorway behind a beaded fly curtain
Procession moving along a street at night, candles and lights among the crowd
Drummers moving through a street, the picture blurred by their motion
Two men standing side by side at night, one holding a drum
Onlookers seated along a street watching a procession pass
Drummers walking down a street under streetlights
Drum maker seated in his workshop among frames, skins and finished drums
Figures silhouetted against the sky along a low wall
A figure beside a bonfire in the dark
