Pietromarchi Pietro

Architect and photographer

Born in 1965 in Venice, Italy, he graduated with a degree in Architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan. Whilst working for more than a decade as an architect in Italy, he went to India to collaborate with the famous architect Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi based in Ahmedabad.

During his stay, two of his great passions re-emerged – photography and steam locomotives. This renaissance resulted in two photographic expositions in Milan, in 1999 and in 2000.

In 2001, he moved to Belgium, where he continues to live. Further travels have taken him to some of the remotest places on earth, such as the Sandaoling coal mine in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, the Hwange coal mine in Zimbabwe, as well as delightful narrow gauge lines in Eritrea or Patagonia.

Exhibitions of his work were held in Brussels in 2006 and in 2013, and recently in Paris in 2015.
