biography

Vinzenz Peristi was the son of the barrel painter Josef Peristi, born in Cherz / Buchenstein , and Maria Vinatzer, heiress of the Jakoberhof .

Vinzenz Peristi was a student of Albino Pitscheider and Balsamo Stella at the art school in Selva from 1923–1925 . As a journeyman he worked in the workshop of Rudolf Vallazza in Ortisei until he finally set up his own workshop in St. Jakob. In 1928 he won first prize from 23 applicants at a Christmas crib exhibition “Presepio in Famiglia” in Milan. He spent his military service from 1930 to 1931 in Rome.

In 1935 he met Josef Thorak , who happened to be in the Jakoberhof inn and asked about the artist who carved the cross on the Sëurasass mountain. Peristi attended the Munich Academy for one semester from 1935 to 1936 . Back home he also worked with Luis Insam , whose sister Anna he married in 1939.

From 1936 to 1938 he was president of the “Circolo degli Artisti” (exhibition association) in Ortisei.

As part of the option , he moved to Munich in March 1940 with his wife and son Bruno. He worked there in Josef Thorak's studio. At the same time he attended the academy there again. However, according to his son Bruno, after failing to greet Hitler during a visit to the workshop, he was sent to the Russian front, where he died. There is an extensive photographic documentation of two meetings between the artist and Luis Trenker . For the first time when the cross was made on Sëurasas and for the second time in the workshop of Josef Thorak.
