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 the limits of images in representing human-environment relationships, 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.

His work has been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions, as well as conferences, including at Harvard University. In 2025 he was awarded the “Unidee Illy Award” from Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto for his ongoing artistic research in the Mekong River.
