All'aria stu gioia - L'uomo vivo

Scicli, a small Baroque gem in southern Sicily. With 33 days to go until Easter Sunday, the inhabitants are preparing to celebrate the holiday. "L'Uomo Vivo, il Gioia" (The Living Man, the Joy): words used by the people of Scicli to invoke the Risen Christ, a symbol that is part of the community's identity. An 18th-century statue created by Benedetto Civiletto. Peppe, Franco, Angelo, and Claudio are four bearers of the Gioia, whose friendship was born right under the "Vara."

Peppe works with marble, Franco is a sales representative, Angelo is a farmer on the family farm, and Claudio is a truck driver who travels all over Italy.
