Ritual

by Vincenzo Pietropaolo

Ritual: Good Friday in Toronto’s Italian Immigrant Community, 1969–2016 is Vincenzo Pietropaolo’s substantial social-documentary photobook about the annual Good Friday procession in Toronto’s Little Italy. Its approximately 150 photographs span more than four decades, recording the event’s development from a local parish observance into a major urban gathering while exploring faith, immigration, community identity and cultural change.

Published in 2016 by Black Dog Publishing Limited, this English-language hardcover contains 215 pages and is accompanied by its dust jacket. The approximate dimensions are 25.4 x 22.9 x 2.5 cm. A reliable published weight could not be confirmed; the book is estimated to weigh about 1.3 kg and should be weighed before shipping.

This copy is personally inscribed to Joshua Phillips with a message concerning solidarity with working-class culture and is signed by Vincenzo Pietropaolo on the title page. The personalized inscription makes it a distinctive presentation copy connected to the photographer’s long-standing interest in working people, immigration and social justice.

The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition as reported by the seller. The photographed cover is intact, and the representative interior image shown has clean margins without obvious marks or damage. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
