Smoke and Shadows – The Ritual Flame

A hauntingly evocative black-and-white image of a figure in motion, silhouetted against the misty mountain backdrop of Scanno, Italy. Wisps of smoke curl upward from smoldering branches, blending earth and sky in a surreal dance of tradition and nature. This powerful composition reflects the spirit of the Glorie di San Martino, where ancestral customs come alive in the interplay of labor, fire, and the land.
