Roma – At the foot of “Angel Unwhares”, the monument for the migrant of Timothy Schmalz, a nun helps to the funeral of Pope Francis.
Cardinals also participate in the ceremony, but the expression of their faces fades, as swallowed by the seriality and persistence of a ritual that guides gestures, movements, expressions.
Diana Bagnoli overcomes the rhetoric of the large collective religious gestures, cross the postcard of the event itself to give back the social and anthropological osmosis by the gaze of the artist who intertwines the constant changes of reality in the Roma of the jubilee.

For example, the Rome of the Saint and the City of the Profano, the capital of the large collective and intimate gestures, from the pilgrims and the invisibility shape while something big is happening.
More than 200 shots, of different sizes between black and white and color, tell a Rome in the center of the world, under the unique birthday of the jubilee, the death of Pope Francis during Easter celebrations and the announcement of the new Pontiff, Leone XIV, after a short conclusion. Every phase of this delicate historical moment reveals the power of an old and fascinating ritual and, together, its extraordinary, fascinating topicality.
In line with his own sensitivity, Diana Bagnoli, Alex Majoli and Paolo Pellegrin have documented the atmosphere of this period and his historical exceptional nature with a concentrated and profound look. In this story in images in which spirituality and traffic, ceremony and daily confusion co -exist, Rome, while the curators roberto Koch and Alessandra Mauro underline, looks like one “A body that moves and changes in time and space”become an urban space in continuous.
Rome gives back his polyphony. It does this because of the images that Diana Bagnoli transforms into colored visions of a widespread, mobile, itinerant mysticism in harmony with the spirit of the jubilee. The goal captures pilgrims from all over the world, but united by the feeling of travel and their faith, but also the multi -etnic Catholic communities of Rome, animated by mutual support and social assistance. The believers were gathered on St. Peter -Square to make the last greeting for Pope Francis and there are people who stretch the rosary, who pray who are absorbed.

And here is the last image of Pope Francis during the public pool, on Easter Sunday, before death, and then the plaque with the word “Francis”.

Finally, Paolo Pellegrin catches the faces of the believers trying to determine a dialogue with them. The space time doors of the city cross, crossed that seems to be catapulted in another dimension. He is the journey of a “Roman”, very personal, an unusual and unpredictable travel schedule, apparently without a destination, but built along a precise peripal that does not exclude anything: from classic monument to abandonment, from the large roadside veins to the Umbertini buildings, from the metaphysical euro to the insights, from the insistent. pines of Rome.

In this story in Direct Taking concluded a month ago, the three artists had the opportunity to record how Rome, on the occasion of an event that distinguishes it and makes it unique, has shown an old and fascinating ritual and, together, his extraordinary, fascinating current events.

“Open City 2025 – Said Edith Gabrielli – is a non -published exhibition project with a strong contemporary value. The idea at the base is simple: ask three photographers of extraordinary sensitivity, such as Diana Bagnoli, Alex Majoli and Paolo Pellegrin, to observe the time of the jubilee, not the jubileans. Surrounded.
The choice to open for contemporary comes complete with the acquisition of two works by each photographer in the Vive collection “.
