Christian minorities of the Middle East is the title of a long-term project started in Iran during the summer 2011. The pictures refer to this first step of the work. Middle East, pale of interfaith, is becoming a ghetto and not only the minorities will pay the price of this situation, but also the concept of faith and spirituality. The Islamic Republic of Iran recognizes freedom of worship for Christians: the community is divided between 50.000 Armenians and 10 thousand Assyrians, but before 1979 they were two millions. Since decades the diaspora of this communities is going on to Europe and United States, perceived as rich, free and secure places. The life, public and private, of who remains is entirely within the religious community: job, public cerimonies, marriage, education. As in a ghetto.
