Piero is a first-generation Italian artist based in Fitzroy, Melbourne. His practice revitalises and celebrates Italian / Calabrian legacies, drawing inspiration from Italian graphics, decorative arts, ephemera, and religious icons. His deep appreciation for Calabrian culture was nurtured by his upbringing at his family’s vineyard in Mildura, as well as days spent at his Nonna and Nonno’s house, and experiences living in Italy during his formative years. His diverse body of work explores his profound connection to Italian and Calabrian heritage, focusing on themes of identity and nostalgia.
