Pietro Arese (born 8 October 1999) is an Italian middle-distance runner.
No kinship with the middle-distance runner Franco Arese, former European champion and former president of the Italian Athletics Federation (FIDAL).
Career 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. Thus earning his first call-up to the national team for the 2021 European Indoor Championships. On 6 June 2023, during the Irena Szewińska Memorial, he won the 1500 m becoming the second-fastest Italian ever.
