How to use "piacere"?
I am confused,
Why it is "Mi piacere l'estate" but "Alla mia amica pica la caccia"?
in the first sentence there's no prep. before"mi" ,but in the latter one "prep" is used,there's "a" before "mia amica"?

'mi piacere ABC' is not correct.
'mi fa piacere ABC' is correct.
here /piacere/ is a noun, NOT a verb!
The construction of 'piacere (verb)' is quite the opposite of the construction of 'to like' in English.
Examples
1a I like chocolate : subject: I, direct object: chocolate
1b. a me piace la cioccolata
1c. mi piace la cioccolata
Subject: cioccolata
Indirect object: I (therefore: a me, mi)
2a. She likes to swim ; subject: she, direct object: to swim
2b. a lei piace nuotare
2c. le piace nuotare
subject: /il fatto di nuotare/, /nuotare/
indirect object: lei (therefore: a lei, le)
3a. I like to teach
3b. mi piace insegnare
3c. a me piace insegnare

About the first sentence, you also can say :" A me piace l'estate".
Mi = a me.
in Italian the personal object pronouns have two forms: the tonic form ( es me, te, lui, lei, noi ecc)
and the unstressed (atone) form ( es. mi, ti, lo , gli, la, le, ci ecc) .
If you use the unstressed form, you never have to use the prepositions

il verbo piacere in italiano è un verbo intransitivo e quindi ci va sempre una preposizione,
"mi" sta per "a me"
a me piace l'estate, alla mia amica piace la caccia
