Since an early age his family introduced him to a variety of music, from Mozart to Led Zeppelin.
Pietro began studying music production at Saluzzo’s APM, which later led to an internship at the historical Larione 10 in Florence.
Soon after, he moved to Rome to work at Forum Music Village, home to many famous Italian film composers, where he did sessions with legendary film composer Ennio Morricone and Oscar winner composer Nicola Piovani.
He gained a keen interest in composing and scoring for motion picture, television, and other media. Following his passion, Pietro auditioned for Berklee College of Music and was accepted with a scholarship.
