Erik gets reason. In Italian really exist some variants of Pietro: (male) Piero, Pierino, Pietrino, Pietruccio, Petruccio, (female) Pietra, Petra, Piera, Pierina, Pietruccia, Petruccia.

There are even some composed names with Pietro or Piero: Pietrantono, Pierantonio, Pietrangelo, Pierangelo, Pierluigi, Piermaria, Pierpaolo, Piergiorgio, Piercarlo.

From dictionary of the names.

The only variants I find are Piero, Petro, Pietrino, Pietruccio, Pieretto, Pierino, and Pieruccio.
