He was a personal friend of writers such as Tito Maria Maniacco, Elio Bartolini and Amedeo Giacomini, of artists such as Mario Baldan and Mimmo Biase, of philosophers such as Sergio Sarti, of actress Rosita Torosh and director Giorgio Marini and many others. They constituted the local "intelligentsia". Some of them were much older than he was and his cultural education was, in many ways, formed by their influence. Pischiutta remained their friend for many years after. Some of the plays he performed in while at the Narodno Kazaliste Theater in Rijeka are: The "Song of the Lusitanian Bogey" by Peter Weiss, directed by Francesco Macedonio, "The Miser" by Molière, "La Locandiera" by Carlo Goldoni, "Uncle Vanja" by Anton Chekhov.

Bob Dylan gave him the requested permissions and Bruno Pischiutta produced and recorded the LP entitled "Vietnam Chiama Lotta" (Vietnam calls for a fight). The record was very favorably reviewed by the national newspaper L'Unità in Italy and it went on to receive a wide success. He also produced a recital entitled "The Vietnam War Today" that he presented in Milan and in Florence very successfully. In the recital Bruno Pischiutta as the lead actor was reading parts of the spiritual will of Ho Chi Minh and Marco Tutino was singing the songs of Bob Dylan in Italian language.

The show had a great success and Pischiutta brought it to several cities across Italy and to the Stadium of Torino in front of an audience of 8,000. He opened his own theater and theater school in Ostia, the part of Rome by the sea. He called the enterprise Centro Iniziative di Azione Culturale (C.I.A.C.). There, he taught theater and, Professor Paolo Uccello who was a published author and the one authority in film technology in Italy, taught film to the students. At C.I.A.C., Bruno Pischiutta produced theater shows that were always followed by a debate with the audience and, every two weeks, he organized an art exhibition with painting by the best painters of Rome in that time. Once a month, on Sundays, a show for children was presented. The audience was filling the place. The activity of the Center got the interest of Rome's major media and it was not followed by the people of Ostia only, but also by artists and intellectuals from the capital city. The clan of Federico Fellini was often present at Bruno's Center; the great and important journalist Domenico Pertica, "Momo" for the friends, was a fan of the Center and he promoted its activities in Giornale d'Italia where he explained to the political people the social and artistic importance of C.I.A.C.. At the theater there were screening facilities and often the premiere of the movies produced by Bruno Pischiutta where held there.

It was a two hours one man show and the subject was about the immobility of the Italian intellectuals of that time. In 1976 he was awarded the Premio Simpatia.
