Alessandro Di Pietro's work is based on linguistic structures and cinematographic grammars, outlining methodologies that generate new narratives and production strategies through hybrid environments, inhabitants of monstrous plausible characters and non-objective technologies. In 2020 he received a grant from the Pollock - Krasner Foundation in New York and, in 2017-2018, the Cy Twombly Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome.
