Marco Ridomi was born in Italy in 1952. After completing school, he moved to NYC to study photography and obtain a degree in fine art. At the age of 34, while training to become a professional photographer, he was diagnosed with a terminal disease. This changed his life dramatically and he soon lost his will to live. In desperation, he began to search for a cure and eventually met a Native American healer named Godfrey Chipps. Through Godfrey and his family, Marco was led on a soul-searching journey to reclaim his health and spirit.

Presently, Marco lives with his wife, Georgia, in Tuscany.
