Cardinals
Since 1970 Cardinals retire at the age of eighty, give up their positions and lose the right to elect the Pope. Seventeen retired Cardinals are photographed in this book, along with twenty five ministers of the government of the Holy See and other personalities of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Fifty portraits of the protagonists of the twentieth century along with their memories. Old men at the end of their life as well as energetic ministers involved in the full use of their authority. Photographed in their private chapels, in their apartments, austere or regal, in the magnificent Vatican buildings or in hospital beds. These portraits recall the iconography of classical painting while being in the language of contemporary photography.
