Pio Corradi's grandfather, a stone cutter from Mantua , Italy , emigrated to Buckten. His two sons continued the construction business, Corradi GmbH. Pio Corradi grew up with five siblings. His math teacher taught him how to take photographs, and he got to know the first aspects of filming during a three-month spa stay in Davos .
Pio Corradi first attended the arts and crafts school (today: Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst ) in Basel for two years and then completed an apprenticeship as a photographer . In 1964 he moved to Zurich and became camera assistant to Nicolas Gessner , Georges Alexath, Robert D. Garbade , Grigori Wassiljewitsch Alexandrow and others.
From 1972 he worked as a freelance cameraman and photographed numerous national and international feature and documentary films, for example Höhenfeuer (1985, director: Fredi M.
