Pierandrea Brichetti

I am an ornithologist and my videos document nature and animals, especially birds in their natural environments. Originally from Ponte di Legno in the upper Camonica Valley, I live in Verolavecchia in the "lower" Brescia plain. My study and research activities date back to the early 1970s, when I met Prof. Edgardo Moltoni, dean of Italian ornithologists and former Director of the Natural History Museum of Milan, at whose school I trained. I have published over 250 scientific articles in Italian and foreign journals and 30 books and atlases, including the 10 volumes of Ornitologia Italiana (2003-2015) and the 3 volumes in English of The Birds of Italy (2018-2022), all written with my friend Giancarlo Fracasso. From 1993 to 2011 I directed the Centro Italiano Studi Ornitologici (CISO) and from 1980 to 2007 I was secretary of the Italian Rarities Committee (COI).
