London W2
Piero Pierini arrived in London 21 years ago, after Argentina spiralled into economic catastrophe under the corrupt rule of Fernando de la Rua.
He left secondary school, made infamous by the disappearance of 10 of its students in the 1976 “night of the pencils,” to study illustration at the University of La Plata.
Piero’s Italian nationality inherited from his anarchist bricklayer grandfather opened the EU gates.
