DOCUMENTARY • 72 minutes
Luce e Spirito explores the working life of Don Alessandro Pacchia, an 83-year-old priest at the Basilica of Florence, made famous by Brunelleschi’s Cupola. The film traces his 47 years as a simple priest whose work as Sacristan has never changed.
The film was captured by filmmaker David Battistella over a period of 15 months with unprecedented access to Don Alessandro’s personal and working life.
Don Alessandro is opinionated but humble and carries a simple message of love.
