A few kilometers outside of Bologna, Budrio is one of those small towns one visits only to see how life can stay still when everyone around you has become global and with little identity.
I was told that the authentic Ocarina (a flute like musical instrument which looks like a goose without a head) in terracotta could be bought in Budrio only. Not sure if that is the case but the idea of seeing some of the oldest baroque churches in the region of Emilia Romagna was enough for driving an hour outside of Bologna.
Unfortunately I do not recall the name of this church just outside of Budrio. Like many in that region, it was inconspicuous and humble. There was nothing special for a photographer, except that in a second, the sun inundated the walls of this church and gave the somber feel of the stone walls a color and amazing brightness.
I had my Nikon F2 with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 hanging from my neck, and wanted to capture that contrast of light, prayer, and history.
