Dalle molte immagini dell'album, è ovvio che Peter era una persona molto sociale. Una cosa che è evidente in tutti gli album è che Peter aveva un gruppo di amici intimi con cui condivideva molte foto. Uno di questi amici era Pacifico "puss" Valeriote, con il quale condivide molte immagini in cui celebrano diverse occasioni sia nella casa di Pietro che in quella di Pacifico. Lo stesso si può dire della relazione di Peter con Guy Pellin. Ron Carere era un altro possibile amico intimo di Peter's come era presente in molte foto con lui.

C'era allora Tony Ferraro, un caro amico di Peter che aveva lavorato con lui in una società chiamata Kearney-National Ltd. e lo ha aiutato a costruire le fondamenta della sua casa con le proprie mani, come Tony aveva dichiarato in un'intervista condotta l'8 novembre 2019.

From the many pictures of the album, it is evident that Peter was a very social person. One thing that is noticeable throughout the albums is that Peter had a group of close friends with whom he shared most pictures. One of those friends was Pacifico “puss” Valeriote, with whom he shares many pictures where they celebrate different occasions in both Peter’s house as well as Pacifico’s. The same can be said about peter’s relationship with Guy Pellin. Ron Carere was another possible close friend of Peter’s as he was present in many pictures with him as well.
Another was Tony Ferraro, a close friend of Peter with whom he had worked in a company called Kearney-National Ltd. and whom had helped Peter build the foundation of his house by hand, as Tony stated in an interview conducted on November 8th, 2019.
