In 2020, East of Nowhere, synthesis of twenty-two years of work, was published by Thames & Hudson in the UK and the United States, and by Actes Sud in France. The preface is written by Romanian-born German novelist Herta Müller, recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.

In 2007 he was commissioned by MAXXI (Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo) in Rome to document the Italian landscape. This project gave rise to a series of travels in Western Europe in 2008, in search of the identity of another Europe.

In 2003 he travelled to Georgia with his friend, the writer Rocco Carbone. Thus began a series of trips to the southern Caucasus.

In 1991 he received the "European Kodak Award of Photography", Arles (France), in 1993 the "Mother Jones Foundation Award for documentary Photography", San Francisco (CA, United States), and in 1998 the "Leica Oskar Barnack Award", Arles (France).

In 1989 Ponzio was in Central and Eastern Europe to document the fall of the communist regimes. On 28 June 1989 he was in Kosovo to listen to Slobodan Milošević give the famous Gazimestan speech, which laid out the ideology and programme that would lead to the tragedies of the Yugoslav wars. Following 1989, Ponzio documented the transition from communism to the consumer free-for-all that followed the first flush of freedom.

In December 1987, Ponzio "embarked on a photographic odyssey across central and eastern Europe and the Caucasus". . He photographed Poland, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary, the Ukraine, Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Yugoslavia and Albania, traveling by car, "with a tent and a stove and a sleeping bag in the back of his car, along with three Nikon cameras and 100 rolls of film".

He worked for the Italian and international press from 1980 to 1987.

His interest in photography began in 1976, during a trip to the Balkans.
