The most recent photos taken by Guindani in Haiti, they portray evocative moments of the Catholic and voodoo ritual, Saut d'Eau, which in the month of July pushes thousands of pilgrims towards the Sodo 'waterfalls, where, it is said, the spirit of the Virgin Mary appeared 150 years ago. The ancient ceremony involves an ablution under the waterfall, in this way the Haitians who practice Voodoo hope that Erzulie Dantor, Spirit of Water, Motherhood and Love, will give them a moment of peace and happiness, removing the suffering, hunger and poverty. Catholics, on the other hand, they understand this ritual washing as an act of purification and rebirth. The exhibition was inaugurated in the Sala d'Arme, where Martina Colombari, godmother of the Francesca Rava Foundation, was also present. The exhibition was set up in the Cortile della Dogana of Palazzo Vecchio where, for the occasion, Paola Turci and Paolo Fresu held a charity concert for the children of Haiti. All proceeds from the initiative were donated to the Francesca Rava Foundation - NPH Italia Onlus, for the Saint Damien Pediatric Hospital in Haiti. Honegger, official partner of the event, was entrusted with the artistic direction, as well as the design and construction of the exhibition area. SHARE Trade fair marketing since 1970 Via F.
