Abstract
We present basic notions of Pier's system of geometry in an intuitive way and from a heuristic point of view, trying to focus on the "essence" of Italian mathematician's constructions. However, it is done without the detriment for formal precision of the presentation, we hope. We also point to some important metamathematical dependencies between Pieri's and Hilbert's approach to Euclidean geometry.
