In 2004 he began working on the journey as a work of art and on the travel diary to be created on Tibetan carpets and Indian tents. The "Dreams" project takes shape which will bring him back, after years, to live in India for a year to create the works. The works will then be exhibited in Italy, at Art Basel Miami (USA) and in 2007 at the Xth Cairo Biennial (Egypt), where he received the Critics' Award. In 2009 he exhibited the installation “The Breath of the World” at the Vittoriano in Rome, created with Indian tents sewn in Goa (India).
Numerous personal and collective exhibitions have led him to exhibit in Italy and abroad, including England, the United States, Germany, India and China. Some of his video works have participated in film festivals and video art exhibitions.
