GetPica

Active

Overview

GetPica is an Italian event-photo recognition and distribution platform operated by Pica Group S.p.A. It connects photographers, event organizers, and participants by using AI-based image processing to identify people in event photos and deliver matching content in near real time. Participants generally access albums through an event code and selfie-based recognition, while organizers can distribute or sell photos and videos.

History

GetPica was launched in 2018 as a platform for real-time delivery of event photos. The company lists Manolo Martini as CEO and founder, Enrico Minotti as Head of Product and founder, and Daniele Lazzara as CTO and founder. Its platform developed around patented AI that categorizes event images using facial recognition and other identification methods, including graphic codes and bib numbers for endurance events. The business operates through Pica Group S.p.A., with listed locations in Milan and Cervia.

Reputation

GetPica is positioned as a specialized event-technology provider rather than a consumer camera or photography brand. Its distinguishing features are automated photo matching, rapid delivery, privacy-oriented access controls, and support for commercial sales workflows. Potential concerns include reliance on facial-recognition processing and the variability of pricing, image coverage, and recognition accuracy by event and photographer. Publicly available information does not establish a large independent review base or a reliable employee count.
