A number of books about the artist were published: Piero Manzoni and ZERO. A European Creative Region by Francesca Pola, published by Electa in the ‘Pesci Rossi’ series, Breve storia della “Merda d’artista” by Flaminio Gualdoni and Caro Piero by Elena Manzoni di Chiosca, both published by Skira. Lastly, Abscondita published Su Piero Manzoni by Germano Celant.
