Trasparenti on the Facade of the Church of San Giovanni

This image shows several Trasparenti displayed in front of the Church of San Giovanni in Mendrisio, the starting point of the Holy Week Processions. Illuminated from within, these lanterns cast a warm light that, during the evening processions, lights up the streets of the town, traditionally serving as the only source of illumination. The Trasparenti thus contribute to the evocative and contemplative atmosphere that marks the beginning of the procession.
