Painter trained in Luigi Rossi's studio in Lugano, he perfected his skills in Florence and was awarded a prize at the Moretto school in Brescia for his "splendid figures". His exhibition activity dates back to just over the first decade of the century and his works are consistent with the pictorial genres current in the period: he participates in a sort of socialist realism combined with the luminous contemplation of magnificent mountain landscapes. Pietro Leidi was deaf and dumb from birth, but profoundly sensitive, acute in his observation and careful in his technique, he harks back to the style of painters such as Filippini and Pelizza da Volpedo. He expresses his life and his vision of the world through a constant pictorial activity that transcribes a feeling that participates in the social and contemplative family existence. His works are collected in many important public and private collections in Milan, Turin, Cremona, Paris, Genoa, Venice and Brescia where he was part of the "independent" group.
