A Quick Chat with Dr. Gianni Murzi

This week Gianni Murzi chats with Sree about his new occupation as a photographer and a passionate story teller. We have included several of  his photo features in our earlier editions. Nowadays Gianni is based in Rome, and he travels where the passion for photography takes him. He likes to work on stories that have social issues worth telling and he continues to compete in global photography competitions. 

Gianni is a physician and from 1970 to 1985 worked as a medical doctor in Mozambique and Zanzibar. During his career of nearly two decades in UNICEF, he worked in several countries, including Burkina Faso, Iraq, and Senegal.  He also served in Brussels and Programme Division (NYHQ).   Gianni was the first UNICEF Representative in Moscow. After his retirement, he returned to UNICEF to serve as Acting Representative in India, Zimbabwe, Iran and Albania.

Listen to Gianni narrate how he discovered photography. He concludes with a humorous story from his early days in UNICEF Moscow. As always we welcome your views and feedback in the comments section below.
