He graduated in medicine and surgery at the University of Trieste in July 1984. He practiced the profession of family doctor in the city, where he was well known, respected and appreciated.

«Piero was more than a friend to me – remembers De Mattio -. I started and finished my administrative experience at his side, sharing emotions and choices.

He was first a guide for me, then a friend of a human and intellectual depth that is difficult to forget. He made himself available for anything and I would like him here again to thank him ».

“For us he was a friend, an administrator who characterized a long period of San Vito’s political life, he was a person of great intelligence and high cultural depth, sympathetic, optimistic and kind-hearted: we express our condolences to the family”: this is how the mayor Alberto Bernava.

Piero was close to me as councilor, I learned to know and appreciate him: he was brilliant, acute, a great reader, he knew how to be with people, listen and speak. He was a very good person. “
