Piero Pizzi Cannella
Piero Pizzi Cannella, born in Rocca di Papa on 20 November, 1955, made his debut in 1977 with a solo show at Galleria La Stanza, where he returned the following year with a conceptual-inspired installation.
Pizzi Cannella was born in in Rocca di Papa, Rome, where he lives and works; he is an Italian artist of international renown, praised and celebrated.
An isolated foray into the so-called “anachronistic citationism” took place in the exhibition held in Galleria La Tartaruga in March 1980. In 1984 he settled with Ceccobelli and Tirelli in a studio in the former Cerere pasta factory in via degli Ausoni, Rome, where Dessì, Gallo and Nunzio – exponents of what would be called the New Roman School – were already operating.
In the same year, he came into contact with the gallery owner Fabio Sargentini, who hosted in the rooms of Galleria L’Attico the solo show Interni e figure, collecting figurative paintings made in the previous two years.
The exhibitions at Annina Nosei in New York, as well as the several solo shows staged in those years at Galerie Folker Skulima in Berlin
