My photographic project The birth of light is the report in images of the "Living Nativity Scene" a traditional event of the popular culture of the country where I live, in Calabria, in southern Italy. It is a choreographic and scenographic representation that tells the story of the birth of Christ. I took care of the direction and direction of photography of this event mainly asking myself one thing. Where does light come from? What are its breaths and how does it react when it encounters people or things or environments. This event is inspired by the light of the Italian Baroque painters.
