From the trip to the Near East, undertaken around 1905 together with the American painter J. Sargent, he drew inspiration for the renewal of his repertoire, which he re-proposes in the paintings: “Mosque of Omar”, “Tower of David”, exhibited in 1905 at the Circolo degli Artisti – “Interior of the Hagia Sophia Mosque”, exhibited at the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts.
While favoring mountain subjects from the Aosta Valley and the Biella area, there is no shortage of seascapes, animal figures, still lifes, genre scenes and portraits.
He was much appreciated by the upper class of his time who purchased almost all of his works. Among the rare paintings preserved in public institutions are those of the Modern Art Gallery of Turin, including a "Portrait of Father Giuseppe" from 1913, and the group of works preserved in the Municipality of Caluso.
