Pietro Arese (born 8 October 1999) is an Italian middle-distance runner.[1]
No kinship with the middle-distance runner Franco Arese, former European champion and former president of the Italian Athletics Federation (FIDAL).[2]
His sporting explosion in the winter of 2021, when at the age of 21 he became the Italian indoor champion both on the 1500 m and on the 3000 m, in both cases, an unusual thing, significantly improving his times on the corresponding distances, but outdoors.[3] Thus earning his first call-up to the national team for the 2021 European Indoor Championships.[4] On 6 June 2023, during the Irena Szewińska Memorial, he won the 1500 m becoming the second fastest Italian ever.[5]
