“The Mass is ended” is an award winning photographic work about the new life of the deconsecrated churches in Italy. For five years, from 2008 to 2013, I travelled across the country looking for them. I explored every Italian region to find the most interesting and surprising reuses, searching the innovative architectural solutions as well as the most practical adaptations for people who just need a place to work. I photographed more than 70 churches. I chose to have the same point of view, the same perspective, the same square format. Just one photograph for each church to show the contrast between the different lives of these special places.
