"The artist's very personal way of testing the pointillist technique got therefore defined at the beginning of the century, nourished by Grubicy's suggestions, but marked by a stylistic key feature and by a thematic repertoire that are his own, as shown in the triptych "Sensazioni luminose" (Luminous sensations), which was exhibited in 1906 at the National Fine Arts Show of Milan. The exhibition of Milan marked the beginning of an intensive showing activity: in 1907 he took part with seven Leghorn views to the famous Salon des Peintres Divisionistes Italiens organized by the Grubicy Gallery in Paris, two years later he was again in Paris with Llewelyn Lloyd and Plinio Nomellini at the Salon d'Automne.

...During the Twenties his graphics production became more intense and the result were two exhibitions: in 1933 at the Esame Gallery and in 1935 at the Scopinich Gallery. After the end of the Second World War he took part to some exhibitions (like the one of 1948, From the XIX to the XX Century, at Dante's Home in Florence) until in the Fifties he had to abandon the painting due to his progressive blindess.
