Pizzoni was born in Cremona and studied at London, Oxford and Pavia. During World War I he fought as a Bersaglieri officer, being awarded a silver medal for military value.
Subsequently, he worked as a banker for the Credito Italiano. After the rise of the Fascist regime, he became a member of the Giustizia e Libertà movement. During World War II he fought again in the Bersaglieri corps, receiving another medal, before being sent back home for health reasons in 1942.
