Ritual: Good Friday in Toronto's Italian Immigrant Community 1969-2105 is a book of 100 photographs and texts, as well as an accompanying exhibition that documents the Good Friday procession--and elaborate event that takes place annually in the streets of the historic Italian Community in Toronto. Vincenzo Pietropaolo has been photographing this event almost every year since 1969 and, in the process, the annual pilgrimage with his camera has remove his own personal ritual as a documentary photo artist.
