Piero Ricciardi is a multifaceted artist, actor, clown, musician, circus performer, and trainer.

He studied at the Circus School of Granada, "Circo de las Artes", and at the "Atelier of Commedia dell'Arte" with Michele Monetta. He then embarked on his theatrical journey, studying Physical Theatre, Mime, Clown, Commedia dell'Arte, Masks, and Dance with masters such as Yves Lebreton, Pierre Byland, Leo Bassi, Vladimir Olshansky, Peter Shub, André Casaca, Carlo Boso, Eugenio Allegri, Paco Gonzales-Familie Floz, and Isaac Alvarez.

His style is rooted in a sense of wonder, play, and surprise. His performances blend a wide range of skills, including clown, physical theatre, eccentric dance, juggling, object manipulation and a variety of circus techniques, creating truly unique atmospheres. These shows are always fun, mischievous, and cheeky, with audiences constantly encouraged to get involved.

He performs in town squares as well as in theatres, often as part of international festivals, with his solo shows and with "Marlon Banda", a clown and music company of which he is a founding member. He has worked for many years as a hospital clown with the Soccorso Clown association. He also leads workshops in street theatre, clown, and object manipulation, both in Italy and abroad. Additionally, he organizes street theatre events and performing arts festivals through the INCA Italia association.
