Andrea Peruzzi

The Priest

Bathed in golden sunlight, the elderly priest pauses on the narrow path carved into the cliff that leads to a 12th-century Ethiopian rock-hewn church, rich in frescoes and sacred relics, of which he has been the custodian for 60 years, where man and nature coexist in a timeless spiritual harmony.

About Artist

Andrea Peruzzi

Andrea Peruzzi is an Italian travel and documentary photographer. Born in the early 1980s in Florence, Andrea grew up fascinated by the exploration of the historical and natural places that surround him. This love pushed him throughout his adolescence to immortalize places and moments with point-and-shoot film cameras and it was only in 2010, that he purchased his first digital reflex camera, which would be his vehicle for professional growth in the world of photography. Andrea loves to travel "with camera and backpack" to come into contact with the truest and most authentic part of the places he visits and the people he meets, trying to establish, when possible, bonds of friendship and mutual respect that allow him, at the end of every trip, to enrich one's intellectual and emotional baggage. Fascinated by the cultural diversity that our planet offers, Andrea traveled from the metropolises and crowded squares of his native Florence, to the remote villages scattered across the various continents to meet and document the daily life of ethnic minorities who retain their identity, still unconditioned by Globalization and mass tourism. Awarded several times for his photographs in renowned international photography competitions, in collective and personal exhibitions, Andrea Peruzzi continues to travel and "see nations through the people's eyes" to document what he encounters, together with his camera.
