ABOUT

b. 1986, Bologna, Italy. Lives and works in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Growing up in a family rooted in the trade of fruits and vegetables, Pietro is drawn to places where intimacy and culture are deeply connected to the land. His research-driven practice addresses the ongoing erasure of these communities by investigating images' limitation in representing the intricate networks of exchange between people and their environment, and their role in normalising exploitation under narratives of progress.

Through fieldwork grounded in collaboration, he works across a multiplicity of mediums—including photography, video, installation, and text.

In 2024, he has received the “Illy Award” from Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto for his ongoing research along the Mekong River.
