Gianpaolo Pietri is an architect, journalist, entrepreneur, coder, producer and writer. Translation? He is a communicator. That’s how he sees his body of work. Beyond artistry or creativity is the need to communicate the true nature of basic human emotions. Essentially, Gianpaolo uses a range of media to communicate , to share his ideas about the World and how it is evolving. There is a common thread visible throughout all of his projects. He seeks to answer the question: How shall we live?

In 2010, Gianpaolo developed a digital news site, Yastá, for the growing yet underserved spanish-speaking community in the US. He currently serves as the media company’s Creative Director. He sees his work on this project as a clear extension, and evolution, of his architecture work.

Gianpaolo is now producing and directing a feature documentary “el voto Hispano “about the power and influence of Latino voters in US elections. The project is being produced by Eva Longoria and recently became the most funded Latino led project on Kickstarter.
