A cero rises above the crowd, blurred by the movement of the race.
At dusk, the Palazzo dei Consoli with its red banner and children running in the square.
A vaulted ceiling covered in handwritten names and inscriptions.
In a kitchen, the ceraioli in yellow shirts around the table.
A ceraiolo in a yellow shirt on the ground, held up after the race.
The cero climbs the road between the cypresses, carried by the ceraioli.
Atop the cero's shafts a man stands against the sky; in the foreground, the hands of the crowd.
The hands of the crowd press against the decorated body of the cero.
Under the loggia, before the statue of the saint, the ceraioli in yellow.

Young ceraioli in blue shirts carry a shaft on their shoulders down the street.
In church, two men raise a casket before the altar.

On a table, the folded sashes and the red and black cloth, with scissors.
In a vaulted room, men in red jackets at cloth-covered tables; one is writing.
Three ceramic amphorae on the sill behind the grille; outside, a man gestures.
An empty vaulted hall, the feast's fittings displayed beyond a rope.
From above, the town's roofs and the plain beyond the walls.
Hands slipping a ballot into a wooden box.
Inside a vaulted hall, a man stands on the wooden frame with open arms, held up by the group.
Among raised arms and trumpets, the decorated casket passes over the crowd.
In church, two men embrace beside the statue of the saint.
An elderly man with a red sash, alone at a long table by the window.
In the cemetery, a ceraiolo in a yellow shirt standing among the graves.
In the workshop, a hand decorates a ceramic amphora lettered «S. Antonio».
At the wheel, the potter shapes an amphora; others dry alongside.
Two women in a doorway; one raises a hand to her mouth.
