Maglione's gaze—profound, empathetic, never sensationalist—moves along the border between documentation and anthropological investigation. His photographs convey the collective dimension of the ritual, the spiritual tension that crosses faces and bodies, the continuity of a tradition handed down from generation to generation, which finds a moment of shared identity in symbolic sacrifice. The blood, the hood, the cadenced rhythm of penance become elements of a visual narrative that questions the relationship between the individual, the community, and the sacred.
