One-Hundred-Nails (Centochiodi) - ... a movie written and directed by Ermanno Olmi, 2007.

....it's a short-long report on Feast of the Holy Cross of Ara Coeli, which includes a procession with blue hooded called "Babbaluti" (hence the feast is also commonly called "feast of Babbaluti", as they are precisely the latter, thirty-three in number, as the years of Christ, to bring in procession the float with the Crucifix.): a touching moment of the procession takes place when the Cross leaving the Church of Aracoeli brought by faithfuls to the churchyard, and thus be lifted up on the float, and then to begin the procession along the small streets of the town of San Marco d'Alunzio (Sicily).
