Piana Giovanni (born April 5, 1940) is an Italian philosopher. He taught theoretical philosophy at the University of Milan from 1970 to 1999. Later, he went to live at Pietrabianca di Sangineto (Calabria), from which he continues to write and publish.

He has been a disciple of Enzo Paci. He wrote his dissertation on Husserl's unpublished works.

His philosophical position is characterised by the concept of phenomenology ("phenomenological structuralism") influenced by Husserl, Wittgenstein, and Bachelard. Some indications about phenomenological structuralism are contained in the online article: "Die Idee eines phänomenologischen Strukturalismus".

His thought is oriented towards the philosophy of knowledge, the philosophy of music, and the fields of perception and imagination.
