Paolo Pellizzari was born on February 7, 1956.
His photographic work finds its roots in the German School of Photography.
His panoramic pictures feature crowds and human landscapes composed in such a way that makes his work distinctive among others.
He has published two books dedicated to cycling entitled La France du Tour and “The Tours of the World”. In 2004 he was awarded the Sportel Prize for the best sports book of the year for “Tours of the World” in which he photographs the most exotic cycling races on the planet.
