Raffaele Celentano and “The Light of God”

In the Cloister of San Francesco d’Assisi, Sorrento, there was an exhibition of photographs by Raffaele Celentano. Although he became famous for pictures taken after gaining the trust of Mother Theresa, the main part of the exhibition featured his many monochrome pictures of Italian life, in homes and in the streets. Taken over the last 30 years, they are, in my view, superb and among the finest of their type. Monochrome copies were being sold and in some of them parts had been picked out in red - something I have echoed in this offering.
