He was introduced to the public as a ventriloquist and was a finalist in the 1986/87 edition of the RaiUno program Fantastico 7 with his dummy Sergio. In 1985 he worked as a stand-in for Renato Pozzetto in the movie È arrivato mio fratello. Immediately after, he had a small part in Grandi magazzini and performed in many commercials. In 1987 in Soldati – 365 all’alba, he played a gay recruit. Thanks to his expressive skills and to his surreal acting, similar to the already mentioned Renato Pozzetto, Ghislandi has been often been asked to play roles as character actor, working both in the cinema and on television, without until recently getting lead roles. He boasts roles in important films like Il muro di gomma of Marco Risi, I mitici – Colpo gobbo a Milano of Carlo Vanzina, Vajont and Porzûs of Renzo Martinelli and, recently, was one of the actors chosen by Leonardo Pieraccioni in his successful movies (Il principe e il pirata, Il paradiso all’improvviso and Ti amo in tutte le lingue del mondo).
Pietro Ghislandi is known to the general public for being the one and only Italian ventriloquist. His comic quality is a bit fanciful and nonstandard for television cabaret comedy. Voice is an important element of his show entitled "The left ventriculus" that is on tour through Italy. His "vocal" experiences include the well-known cartoonist Bruno Bozzetto and the dubbing of the most famous characters of the Italian "Walt Disney". He is also known for his roles in two national commercials. (Acqua Uliveto with Alessandro Del Piero and Caffè Kimbo with Gigi Proietti).
