Pietro's Book: The Story of a Tuscan Peasant

By: Pietro Pinti

Pietro Pinti, born as he says 'in the Middle Ages,' worked the land with hoe and plow from his earliest youth. Growing up under Mussolini's Fascist regime on a farm near Florence, he and his family lived under conditions of extreme poverty, as sharecroppers to generally unscrupulous landowners. But during World War II, when millions in towns and cities suffered untold hardships, the hardy Tuscan peasants were well equipped to face the rigors of the era: war or no war, work on the land went on, and Pietro describes month by month a typical year in their lives: how they made wine and olive oil, planted and harvested the wheat by hand, made baskets and ladders from chestnut wood-skills now lost. With sly wit and salty wisdom, Pietro, a natural storyteller who played the trumpet, wrote poetry, and grew famous for his tales of peasants, knights, and brigands, recreates in colorful detail a world and peasant culture that is fast disappearing. Jenny Bawtree, an Englishwoman long settled in Tuscany, was so fascinated by Pietro's stories that she helped shape them into this autobiography, full of color and humor, hardship and nostalgia.

Pietro Roccasalva

By: Pietro Roccasalva

The first reference monograph on the artist, this catalogue follows the first institutional exhibitions of Roccasalva held at the MAGASIN in Grenoble and at the Kölnischer Kustverein in Cologne. For over ten years, Pietro Roccasalva has been developing a body of work that is difficult to define but can be considered one of the most wilful contributions to contemporary art. It centers around painting, which has flowered in a manner that is sometimes akin to the old masters and can be seen to spur his engagement with other forms, such as drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, film, and photography. These different outputs are connected by narratives from his conceptual universe. Roccasalva interweaves personal experiences with references to art history, literature, and music as well as to cinema in such a way that it is not uncommon for the works to shift between various levels of reality and fiction. At the same time, they are linked systematically, with each work making reference to its immediate predecessor. In a sense, the artist's oeuvre functions like an enormous house of mirrors -- a labyrinth that seems, more than occasionally, to be furnished with concave or convex mirrors"--Publisher's website.
