Pedretti was a professor emeritus of Italian Art History at the University of California, LA. During which he also held the chair of studies on Leonardo.

One of Pedretti's pioneering works was his 1957 catalog of Leonardo's drawings at the Royal Library at Windsor gathered from the Atlantic Codex of the Ambrosian Library, Milan. His other works include – monumental edition of Leonardo's drawings in Windsor (1968-1969), followed by the edition of Leonardo's drawings and his circle in Florence (1985), Turin (1990) and the American collections (1993).

The professor was supposed to support the organization of several exhibitions in Asia and China on Leonardo; with Leonardo's last painting depicting Lucrezia Crivelli being exposed in several museums. The painting was also supposed to be ordered together with "Cenacolo" by Ludovico Il Moro, yet another true masterpiece the art world will have ever seen; with famous museums from across the world lining up to grab the exceptional opportunity to display these masterpieces.
