Mundari child with a bull of the cattle (South Sudan).

The Mundari are cattle herders living in symbiosis with their Ankole Watusi cattle, characterized by large horns. Nothing is more important for them than their bovines.

Kids are doing most of the daily work. They collect the fresh cow dung and put it into piles which are then set on fire. Those fires are useful as they repel the numerous and voracious mosquitoes of the area.

The young kids with few adult guardinas are sleeping with the cows. The ash from dung fires, as fine as talcum powder, is often used as bedding.

Born in 1973 in Italy and educated as engineer, Roberto Pazzi found his true passions in travelling and photography remote cultures.
His immersive approach to photography has earned him acclaim from both critics and peers alike, having been recognized in several prestigious international competitions.
Roberto's work has reached the pages of renowned publications all over the world, offering glimpses into the captivating diversity of our planet.
Currently based in Spain, Roberto organizes and leads photographic expeditions to the farthest corners of the world.
