Perutz Primera 200


Ladies and gentlemen, The Last Perutz On This Blog! And this is quite a significant roll because it was shot between the last “normal” days in Rome, in February 2020, and the first days in full Sicilian lockdown because of the pandemic.

And I hate this mostly because it happened with the only picture I really like, that’s arguably the one I chose as the highlight of this set. But I have to add that I don’t really care about the scans, they […]
