Italian photographer, Piero Pazzi is the lens behind the calendar of the hottest priests
of the Vatican. His calendar,
officially called the Calendario Romano or
Roman Calendar is better known along
the streets as the ‘Hot Priest Calendar’
and showcases some of the most beautiful men of the Catholic Church.
Each and every one are genuine and true
blue priests which the photographer actually took pictures of along the roads
of Rome especially during Holy Week and
Spain during the Holy Week
procession.
“I meet most of them on the streets in Rome and
ask to take their photos,” Pazzi says. As the priests do not give their names,
he added that "most are happy to be photographed after I tell them the
reason for the calendar.”
The calendar has been launched by Pazzi
himself ever since 2003, "I do the same in Seville. Yes, the men are
good-looking, but it is just a product, a way for people to be better informed
about the Vatican.” He also states. As some pages are dedicated to the Vatican
and Catholic Church and its history or “things that tourists in Rome,
especially foreigners, do not have much knowledge about,” Pazzi says.
Priests from all over the world are actually
welcome to be a part of the calendar, although if you are not from Rome, you
would have to travel there as the majority of photographs are taken in Rome.
