About the life experience of the Nenets. The Nenets are an indigenous population that have
been inhabiting the northern tip of Siberia in Russia for more than 6,000 years, where they live in
extreme conditions, as Eugenio Fieni himself explained to us in an article about this exhibition in the
FIAP NEWS No. 13 of February 2021, when his photos were exhibited in the FIAP Exhibition Centre
Exhibition Centres The Insignificance of Man personally accompany us at the inauguration, an event in which he also gave a complete explanation Exhibition Centres
in Negova, Slovenia.
This exhibition had a special culmination since we had the honour of having Eugenio Fieni

of the experience of living among the Nenets during their stay in this remote place. The audience
