Abstract: Multiwavelength deep observations are a key tool to understand the origin of the diffuse light in clusters of galaxies: the intra-cluster light (ICL). For this reason, we take advantage of the Hubble Frontier Fields survey to investigate the properties of the stellar populations of the ICL of its 6 massive intermediate redshift (0.3 10^15 Msol) clusters is formed by the stripping of MW-like objects that have been accreted at z<br />Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, Submitted to MNRAS, first referee comments incorporated. Age and metallicity radial profiles are in Fig2. The % of light in the ICL in Fig3. Slope of the stellar mass density profile vs. the mass of the halo in Fig5
