As he says himself, it would take time to sum up his life.
Coming from a family of shepherds, between plain and mountain, Ghjuvan’Petru Ristori experienced the war in Algeria before returning to Corsica, as a business manager, between Bastia, Ajaccio and the eastern plain.
It’s in the village “because his father’s house was falling apart” that he wanted to settle in retirement. A family home that he redid with his hands.
Passionate about Corsican language and culture, Ghjuvan’Petru finds inspiration in the village to write his poems. Recognized improviser of chjam’è rispondihe travels to the island to promote this ancestral art.
